Party planners.

 Today was so nice out I just had to get outside, but my mom told me to get my party plans done, so why not bring my work with me? Gia is the best planner and she's so organized so we went outside together and made arrangements.

My birthday is on July 27th and my "party party" will follow soon after my family one. Gia helped me plan the guest list, invitation ideas and party games. It's going to be lots of fun! We walked and talked around the vineyard, it's such a beautiful place, I love it in the summer. I love summer in general though, with the warm air, swimming, school break and getting to read what ever you want whenever you want.

 

I really look forward to seeing my family altogether again, it always seems to turn into a mini family reunion!

Seattle Start-up.

This past Wednesday and Thursday my mom and grandma took me to the Seattle American girl store, and they said I could bring a friend too! I chose Kirsten to come with me, we had a great time together. It was a long ride there and we were exhausted by the time we got there, but we had trouble falling asleep, we kept giggling and talking until Mom had to remind us what time it was.

 We were so excited to go that we didn't know what, or who, to pack. Mom made us settle with one stuffy and one doll in the end.

  Here we are settling in to bed, I put curls in the whole night and most of the car ride so my hair would be extra curly the next day.

Here we are before we left!

the mall wasn't open so we took a few pictures and then walked around for a little while. We had smoothies for breakfast and browsed the store windows until American girl opened their doors.

 we were the first ones thru the doors! I spent most of the visit in the spa, I got the pampering plus package, it was very relaxing and I felt so nice afterwords. The spa girls loved my dress and boots, I felt very special when they noticed.

we were very happy with the trip by the time we were done shopping. We saw many different stores such as Build-a-Bear and a Sanrio store.

this was an amazingly fun trip and I would love to do it again with another friend, we go every summer, so let me know if anyone else wants to come along next year ^.^

Last day Extra

I forgot to mention some exciting news! Well, I will start from the beginning. After the rites of passage and last day events had ended Kirsten and I went back to our classroom to grab our bags.

when our teacher Ms.Emily approached us.
We talked for a bit then bid our farewells, oops, I had almost forgotten to say good-bye to Hime and Ponyo, our class pet fish.
``Oh, Lanie I almost forgot, Poor ponyo and Hime don`t have anywhere to stay this summer. I wonder if you could take care of them? Ms. Emily inquired.
``I would love too!!` I replied.
Well I have a small summer project and I love them!

Happy canada day!

Yay! It's a great day today!! It's the perfect weather to go parade watching, I can't hardly wait.
