We just got back from Reno, Nevada because we went skiing! Our family went to Mt. Rose and we had a lot of fun. Annie and I went up the green runs when we were with a class and the green runs again for free ski. When we were coming home, we sledded and had a snowball fight with our friends. We played adults vs. kids, and the kids won!! Also, I tried to build a snowman and ended up with a small, lopsided tiny snowman. But, we saw a huge, perfectly built snowman with a scarf!! We didn't build it, though.

A few weeks ago, I went to a swim meet in Saratoga High School. I swam lots of events, but didn't get a good time until my last event. During the 200 IM, I got a B time swimming it for the first time!! I was very surprised.

Last week, I had an idea that on the blog, we should have a writing contest or something. Maybe we could post a writing prompt and people that read it could participate in it. But, the contest winner wouldn't get any prize. I would just choose the best story !! Post a comment to tell me if this is a good idea or not. I got the idea from school when we did writing prompts to practice for the writing test coming up. This contest thing doesn't have to stop after the test, though. It can keep going on if we decide that this is a good idea.
