Mermaid swimming

Image
This past weekend I went swimming with my mermaid buddy Viktoria from Superior Mermaids! But we didn't just swim we mermaid swam! Viktoria had taught me how to mermaid swim a couple of years ago and she's an amazing teacher here's her link   https://superiormermaids.wordpress.com/ I chose to wear my blue tang tail (I also have a clownfish) and Viktoria wore her monarch butterfly! If you wanna buy a tail here is the link for where I get my tails  www.finfunmermaid.com but there are many other brands. Viktoria and I did a lot of swimming and practiced are somersaults, tail flaps, bubble ring and laps. There are many different swimming styles to do with a tail!  Mermaid tails are so much fun! They are way faster then normal swimming plus you feel so magical in them! You can also swim in the lake or ocean with your tails, but it's FAR too cold for this mermaid to be swimming outside right now. There were also many little magical children awing over our tails! A li...

Harry Potter Festival

Image
Sorry I didn’t wright in the past couple of weeks. I was really busy preparing for the Willow Springs Harry Potter Festival! I was vending with my felted quidditch players, snitches, mobiles, and butterbeer lip balm. It was a cold September afternoon, we arrived an hour early to set up. The wind was so strong that my display of quidditch players hanging on branches crept falling over and the table cloth they provided crept blowing away. At 3 o’clock all the Potter heads started arriving. The Festival was great there were vendors with magical treats and butterbeer! They were making some house themed pizza in there pizza oven and that warm breeze was nice. It was crazy cold all day and bundled up in a sweater and jacket and blanket and hats mittens I was still cold. Inside they had honey dukes! They also had wooden pins and assorted magical stickers. There was also a make your own potion (tea) station! They had Harry Potter trivia and Quidditch!

MY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

Image
Hello, everyone! Happy yesterday Thanksgiving! I'm sorry I have not posted anything new lately but I have been really busy. My parents went to our camp for the weekend and my brother and I went to our Grandparents. The first two days we went to our Grandmas and Grandpas and it was my Grandmas's birthday on Friday, so we face timed my older cousin living in Vancouver and my little cousin and Uncle came over.  Later she opened her gifts ( well my four-year-old cousin did most of the unwrapping) we enjoyed some glutenfree pumpkin cupcakes I had made the day before with a large amount of cream cheese frosting in between! Then the next day my other older cousin came over and my little cousin again, we celebrated thanksgiving with them that night. Then the next morning my brother, little cousin, Grandpa and I all went for a walk, my cousin was cold so I gave him my jacket that went down to his feet, that was very cute. Then after lunch, my Baba and Nonno came and picked us up, on t...

MINNEAPOLIS

Image
Hey! Last weekend my family and I went on a little road trip to Minneapolis, Minnesota. We spent one night in Duluth. The trip to Duluth takes about 2 and 1/2 hours and from there to Minneapolis another 3 hours.  When we were in Duluth we went to a really cool train museum and they had tons of trains there, sadly I didn't get any pictures. After a big breakfast at the hotel, we set off, in the car I watched some Anne with an E, and me and my brother did some Mad-libs! We went to Minneapolis last year in the spring to see a baseball game but for some reason, I forgot how big it was. The buildings were so tall! When we got to our hotel room ( the Raddison Red ) there was a big projector in the lobby with pictures of people, we later found out it was a photo booth where you could take a selfie and it would be up there! Once we got settled in, we kinda just chilled in the hotel room for the rest of the day, it had been a long day. In the morning we took the light rail, greenline to...

Camp!

I left for our camp on Saturday, with my Mom Dad and Brother, after coming home from our Grandmas and Grandpas. We set out around 4ish for the 2-hour drive. We stopped at my Baba and Nonnos garden for some vegetables! The car ride there was warm. I mostly listened to a podcast, but sometimes I looked out the window and observed the rivers and lakes they were everywhere! When we arrived at the dirt road which meant our camp was not far! We all rolled down our windows and looked if we could see any blueberries.  There were not as many as last year, so we kept driving down the long dirt road, passing a large sandpit in which I usually ride the quad in with my Dad! We finally reached a faded wood sign saying encamp(left) savoy (right).  Our camp was on encamp so we turned left and two seconds later I saw the first camp and a sliver of a calm lake behind it. Turning right was a long line of camps all buried in trees. We kept driving until we saw are camp right after a Moose cross...
