Tennis Camp

For this week I am doing Tennis and for this and the next month I am doing swimming.
Tennis is really fun even though it is my first time. I like playing games. My favorite game is called “Jail Break”. I also did not know that the fastest person on the team is the best out of all but. . . I’m doing tennis camp so we are not on a team. I have been swimming for five years. I like swimming because it is competitive we just did time trials so that was really fun.

First time horseback riding

Over Easter break, we were invited to a ranch in the mountains and had a great day. We rode horses, learned about Indians in our area, took a hike, played with a pig, a goat, and some chickens.

"I like going horseback riding. It was fun. It was my first time going. There were two horses names Honeysuckle and Hank. I rode Honeysuckle all by myself." ~ Maddy

Go Visalia Waves!

My sister Maddy and I swim on a swim team, the Visalia Waves. This is our fourth year of swimming for the waves. We like to swim because it is fun and you get to compete. You get to learn a lot of strokes. I have learned freestyle, the backstroke, the breaststroke, and the butterfly. My favorite is the breaststroke. It is like swimming like a frog. Maddy's favorite is freestyle. She is also really good at butterfly. You can see our times and some pictures of us at Visalia Waves website.
