I wasn't feeling great at the beginning of the month, but I had a lot of fun social things coming up, so we did a drive through Covid test. Luckily, it came back negative! Off to the fun!
I went and spent my 4-5 days in Washington with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Tom. I wish we had more time together. We played a lot of cards and did a lot of talking, which was perfect. I went to the Borgia volleyball camp. I know mom wanted me to like it, but I really didn't. I just didn't like a lot of the girls there. Most of them knew each other and were just very snotty. I did my best though.
After mom picked me up, we left for the youth group trip to the Lake. Elizabeth, Katie, and I had so much fun! We played Croatian Uno, which is basically Uno with all kinds of extra rules that makes the game fast, complicated, and fun. We did a lot of tubing and swimming and all kinds of other water fun.
When we got back, we had Mom and Aunt Lisa's birthday party at Papa Rodney's shop. Jonathan Zoomed in so it was nice to "see" him. We went to the pool twice with Aunt Lisa and family. One of the nights we went back to their house and hung out and had dinner.
I went to the Battle volleyball camp and had a much better time because Lila and a few others that I knew were there. I know that some of the girls have never played volleyball, but that's ok. I am excited about trying out and worried about not making the team. I went to the Missouri Juniors meeting and got #5 for my jersey number! Afterwards, I played pepper with Trevor and Jaiden. I have missed doing that!
I went to Innsbrook with Lila and her family for their vacation. It was so nice to get away with them. I really love her family. I spent the night at Ella's house one night and stayed up way too late! Lila and I finally got our manicures for my birthday present. She even got to spent the night. It was my first sleepover at our house since the pandemic started.
My new friend Aby also had a birthday party that I was invited to. I was so nervous to go because I didn't know who would be there or if she would even like me anymore. It turned out better than I ever thought. We had so much fun, I met new people, and Keri and Makenzie were there! It was so good to see them!
Papa Ron came today and we had a good time hanging out with him. He also brought his friend Linda and we went to the park to go for a walk and brought Shakespeare's back to our house.
Summer is coming to an end. We got our hair cut and did errands, and dad went back to work. Mom starts this week and I start back next week. I am really nervous about school and not getting good grades. But, here's to a good school year!
