Today is New Years Eve! I love New Year’s Eve because we always go to our friends house, hang out, play with other kids while the parents talk and watch football, eat dinner, then we watch the New York countdown, and after that we run outside bang pots and pans. I am so excited! Here we come 2017!
I went to the Oregon Duck game! It was so fun! It was at Autzen Stadium. My family went together, which is my mom, my dad, and my two brothers. We stayed at my grandma and grandpa house ( my mom’s parents’ house.) So we stayed there for the weekend and then at 4:00 we left to Autzen Stadium. We were there a little early and we went the Moshofsky center. There was a concert going on at the time. It was Otis Day and the Knights. They sang the song, Shout. So we were in there for a while and then everybody started to walk into Autzen Stadium. Then we found our spots. We were in section 18 and in row 18. We were by the endzone. The ducks were playing against Cal ( California.) The ducks won, 44 to 28. It was so fun.

Go Ducks!
I love soccer! Why I love soccer is because I get to run, kick a ball, defend, and have fun! The players on my team are Simone, Katrin, Meredith, Addi, Catherine, Lilly A, Giselle, Kendall, Ryann, Anna, and me. Our team name is the Pouncing Panthers. I like my teammates because they are funny, smart, fun, kind, and good teammates. I like being a Midfielder, because I get to defend and score goals.
I went to an awesome concert! It was in Ridgefield,Washington. Where we saw the concert was at Sleep Country Amphitheater. My family sat on the lawn.The opening act was Matt Nathanson. He was great! When he sang the song Headphones he came in the crowd! My older brother Cameron and I got a high five from him! He sang for a long time. Then some people changed the background to The Fray. It took a while but then The Fray started to sing! They were fun to watch! The lead singer came in the crowd just like Matt Nathanson. But he didn’t come by us. They had a lot of songs. Finally it was Train’s turn! They started to sing some good songs. Even better earlier my mom and little brother went where the snacks were and this lady came up to us and asked if I wanted to dance on stage with Train and some other girls! I said yes. So later my mom took me back stage and the lady gave me a Train Bandanna and told me to swing it on stage and dance. At the end of the dance the lead singer gave us high fives. After the dance it was getting late. It took a long time to find our car for my Mom and I. Thanks for reading!

I love Summer! Where I live Summer is between June 21 to September 21. What I like to do during Summer is swim, go to the beach, read, and travel. But since I live in Oregon, U.S.A, I am not that used to the hot weather. But when it is hot I like to have ice cream or popsicles. Thanks for reading! I hope you have a fun Summer!
