Hi!

OK! So a couple days ago I went to South Carolina to see my Grandma, and Grandpa Nicholls! It was so fun, we played scrabble, and scootered a lot! The first day we just hung out, and played scrabble...the second day we went shopping at Old Navy, and Hallmarks. Than we went, and picked up Grandma Gowan, and ate at Mc. Donald's. After this we picked up Madi! ( Amelia, and I cousin) We played with her for like 3 hoursss! The next day it snowed, and the whole street was solid ice!!!!!!!!!!!! Amelia, and I scootered on it for a very long time...we were pretty much snowed in, and I think that we scootered, and played board games ALL day. The next night our dad got there, and the next morning we went to Bojangles. They we playing Bingo there, but it was only for people 55 and older or something so we just played on teams with our Grandma, and Grandpa. That day we also met Madi, Uncle Jimmy, and Aunt Jessica at The Beacon ( a resturaunt) They have REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY SWEET TEA! IT'S SO GOOD THOUGH! On tuesday we had to leave at 5:00, but Grandma Gowan came over to eat lunch-dinner. That day our Grandpa got another scooter they are so so so so so so so fun! When we got to the airport our back up flight was canceled so we barely got on. On the flight Amelia got sick sadly :( So we got her medicine at the airport, and Chinese food! It was really fun though! I will have to put some pictures on in a little bit!

Dance Recital

Hello! On Sunday I had my dance recital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so nervous! When I woke up I got dressed, and practiced my dance. When it was about 12:30 we went to get my teacher a gift card for the coffee shop, and went to my dance. The stage, and stuff was at a Highschool about 20 miniutes away, we were supposed to go in at 1:00, but the doors were locked for like half an our so it was a little late. When we did get in we went into the hallway, and stretched...we also went through our dance. Then when it was about to start we went into this place called the green room where we waited, and practiced. Then we finally got to dance:) Everyone forgot to move up!!!!!!!!!!! Other then that it was all good though, there were a LOT more people than I thought, it was kinda scary...BUT REALLY REALLY FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After we got to go get bagels, and frozen hot chocolate...:) I might be able to do the next session even YAY! Have a Great Christmas!!!

The Roman Empire

In Rome a long long time ago there were amazing buildings, that are now mostly in ruins. The Roman empire was very powerful this all came from there big well trained army. If somebody got in the army, it was not easy to get out...they had to be in the army for 25 years!!!!! Sometimes they would walk 20 miles, carrying a back pack that weighed more than 60 pounds! Romans were great at building, and they also made concrete! They mixed water, volcanic ash, broken stones, lime, and sand. Just like now there were poor people, and rick people then, the rich people lived in luxury, with pools, gardens, and court yards. The poor lived in smelly narrow allies, and houses were built with little care. For there entertainment they would go, and watch fights, and chariot racing! The place they would go for this is the Colosseum. Sometimes they would have wild animals fight even. The Roman Empire officially ended when German army commander declared himself king of Italy.
