Springhill Camp

Hello,
it's me
I was wondering if after all these years... 

Lol jk, I really like Adele's new song. :D
Well, anyways I'm back and I'll tell you what happened to me in the last few days... 

Monday:
The fall sports are over and now the winter sport try outs are starting... On Monday we had Cheer try outs and I actually made the team. *yaaay* 
But together with my host family I decided not to do cheer because it would be too much. I would be out of the house for 14-15 hours (a day!!) and wouldn't really see my host family. And due to the fact that I really like them I will not be a cheerleader this winter... 

Friday:
On Friday afternoon I was going on a trip, in my favorite rocketship
to Spring Hill Camp. 
Well not in a rocketship (dang, I think I have seen too many little kids TV shows... :D)
At 4:30 we met at the Hub and all the little Club 45 kids (4th and 5th grade) came to drive to the Camp. 

Like a well prepared person I had a pedicure right before we left... ;) 
At the Hub we had dinner and then we drove to the Camp... And it was just amazing!!!

We went to our cabins in the snow and then after some worship and free time we finally went to bed (around 1.30 :D)

On Saturday we did a lot of different activities like Zip Lining, flying squirrel or crafts like tie dyeing T-shirts. 
I had a blast and I think I'll post a bunch of pictures because it's easier to see it than just to read it. :)

On Sunday we had only a little bit more worship and drove back home after lunch. 
Now, I'm sitting outside (yeah we have 65 degrees in November) and watch my little host siblings jumping on their trampoline. :)

I'll post again soon

XOXO

Pow Wow and I get a balloooooooon :D

Hey my friends,
on Friday we went to a typical Indian Pow Wow. It was super interesting and we saw some traditional dances, ate really good tacos (super spicyyyyy :D) and learned a lot about the Indian culture...

Well and then on Saturday me and my mom went to downtown Detroit for our 'balloon workshop'. Why?

Well, there's a huge Thanksgiving Parade that is aired all over north and central America and there are not only floats but also balloons.... Giant balloons which need 20-25 people to carry it... And me and my mom are two of these people :D

So we learned how to deal with these balloons and then went into the fitting rooms to get our costumes (the motto of the balloon we'll handle...)

And got a private tour through the studios of the parade. :D

Well guys, just watch the pictures :D 

I met Jesus or Halloween 2k15

Hey guys, 

I haven't posted in a while and I'm really sorry but I actually have noooo time :D 

So let's sum up the last two and a half weeks :)

We had our last swim meet which was actually really sad because it was an amazing season with an amazing team :)

And then of course we had Halloween! 

My friends you can't imagine how hard it is to pick only ONE costume... Well, I planned to be Kermit the frog and my sister was supposed to be Miss Piggie. But actually I ended up as Tinkerbell and had a super funny time with my friends at church. (Yes our youth group had their own Halloween Party on Wednesday)

Here's a collage so I don't have to post a dozen of pictures :D (please take a closer look at my dad's ice hockey jersey ;D)

Oh and of course we had really good food :D 

(You see my portrait on the orange? Well I think I'm really good at art ;D)

But these pictures were only from Wednesday... So I was looking forward to Saturday the 31st. Our swim team had a spaghetti dinner on Friday night and after this I stayed at my friends house and the next day we drove to a pumpkin patch. And we dressed up... Just sayin' but we were the cutest scarecrows in the corn maze :D

When I came home my siblings dressed up and we finally went trick or treating (no   I'm not too old for this... ;) )

As you can see I'm still a scarecrow and my siblings are Luigi, Mario and Princess Peach. And they look adorable! *-*

Well the lovely fall weather made it a very cold and wet trick or treating so after an hour I left to go to a friends party and I had so much fun! 

Aaaaand for those who were wondering about the title... I met Jesus! 

This costume was just amazing and while we were playing Mafia (like werewolf) Jesus died... But who cares he's coming back in three days ;D (ok maybe that's only funny if you played this game) 

To end this post... I had an amazing Halloween and I can say that I found friends! 

And today we had pajama day at church. So we literally just rolled out of the bed and went to church :D 

See you soon guys 

XOXO

P.S. You know you live in Mount Pleasant when you see a dead raccoon on the street... But it's actually hilarious if somebody is pinning a 'Get well soon' balloon on it ;D

Oh and of course Halloween is over now:
