NPL Con

This weekend I am at NPL Con, or the National Puzzler's League Convention, in Milwaukee! There are a lot of puzzles, and most people bring one with them to share. I brought a puzzle called Elevator Trivia. Some of the questions I asked people are on the cards. The solution is on the stickers!

New Car!

We went to Chicago to get Mimi and Papi's old car. It's blue and we named it Chip, because of the chip in the windshield. Chip is a Rav4, just like our old car, Yoshi, was. I can't wait to ride in him!

Emma's Here!

This Saturday Emma came and we went to the Academy of Sciences. Then, on Sunday, we went to Japantown and played an escape room called Spellbound Supper, or (as I prefer to call it) Magical Dinner Table. We escaped at 56:08. This picture is our team photo, the Mighty Bananas!

Bear Creek Hike

This weekend I went to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival. I stayed the entire night on Sunday. It was so much fun! On Monday we hiked Bear Creek, a waterfall trail that's really pretty. This is a picture of me and Max at the waterfall!

Wisconsin Kayak Trip

While with Mimi and Papi, I went kayaking at Gordon Lodge in Wisconsin. We had a lot of fun at the lodge. We swam and kayaked, rode the ferry, finished my scarf and more! I can't wait to see them again in July!

Scarf in progress

This weekend I am with Mimi and Papi! I have started making a new scarf in Mimi’s studio. It is all on the loom and set up to weave! When I come back from Door County on Wednesday, I can start to weave it. 

Sunglasses bag!

I'm getting ready for summer! This weekend I went to the mall with Jeff, and I got new sunglasses. Then I made a bag for the sunglasses. I'm really proud of my creation and I can't wait to visit Mimi and Papi!

Geocache!

I hid a geocache at the Hidden Garden Steps this weekend! We had a lot of fun looking for one, but we didn't find a geocache at the Steps. So we made one and hid it ourselves! Maybe someone will find the geocache in the future. 

Giants Game

This weekend I went to a Giants game with Nonie and Doc. We got backpack giveaways for their 60th anniversary. Our seats were on the club level, so we had a really good view of the game. The Giants won! Go Giants!

Corgi Attack!

On Sunday, I went to Off The Grid while the Etters were in town. We invited a lot of people. The group next to us all had corgis, so I went over. The corgis were very energetic and excited!

Pom Pom Workshop

On Saturday, I did a pom pom workshop with Aunt Stephanie. I made 4 pom poms and a tassel, which are shown below. I really liked making pom poms and tassels on the Loome tool. Thanks Stephanie!

A.P. Open House

I went to the APG open house for incoming 6th graders on Sunday. There was boba, face paint, gear for sale, cotton candy and a booth for Mandarin class where Jeff, Elaine and I drew lots of triforces and other Legend of Zelda fan art. Elaine also drew a dragon. 

Reading Corner

I found a perfect place to sit by Stow Lake with a book. The rocks act as a chair, and I have a good view of the adorable goslings swimming by! I would read all day in my hidden little rock corner. 

Tiny Pie #2!

This weekend, I used the tiny pie pan that Aunt Misha gave me to make my own pie! I had already used the spice and crust mix provided, so I made it from scratch. We are rolling out the tiny pie crust now. 

500 Piece Weekend

This weekend I did a 500 piece puzzle without help! It's like a bunch of little puzzles, so it wasn't as hard as it could have been. I finished it on Sunday.
