LVC Honors Orchestra

It was all started when my violin teacher Ms. Connie S. told my Mom and I about an orchestra. LVC Honors Orchestra, and asked if I wanted to join. We sent in the application, and one week later I received the music. I practiced the 5 songs for three weeks. Then on Oct. the 29th I went to the collage to practice. And met the other 80-something students (grades 10-12). The next day I went at 10:30 and practiced till lunch, then there was some more practicing then supper and changing for the concert…which was a six o’clock. After the concert, my Grandparents S. , Uncle Steve, Aunt Jennifer and Patrick, my family and Mrs. Dottie Miller (a close family friend) (whose son had composed one of the songs we had played that night). We all went to DQ and had Ice-cream, Sundays and Blizzards. YUMMY! I had a lot of fun :) and would do another orchestra, in the blink of an eye! Some Pix:

Vist to the Bahners~

Yesterday (Sunday) we went on a trip to our Uncle Nathan's and Aunt Sarah's.
~FuN fUn~ The Mellema's were there also... and we had a wonderful time :)
~ We left at 6:30 and were home before 10 o'clock
Us girls took along our instruments, ( but then Abigail ended up playing the piano).
Brother Andrew led the singing and Uncle Nathan did a little "Sunday School Lesson" (on cows).
Papa gave a sermon about"Putting on the Whole Armor" (he did a very good job, if I do say so myself).
After the service we had a wonderful lunch of Lasagna, (homemade) Bread, (homemade)Apple-sauce and salad. For Dessert we had Strawberry Poke `em Cake, Chocolate Cake and a Apple -Blueberry Pie, YUMMY!
We played a little at the forts in the woods (that the kids had made), and walked around looking at the farm.
We had a very relaxing time "J ~

Ice Skating Fun~

An while ago we went ice~skating for free.
We received a news-paper clipping from an Sister in our Church....to try out the ice for free and meet the instructors~ Homeschoolers only. Well we decided to go, and just ice skate if nothing else :)We invited Faith B. to come along and so she came with us ''J
We arrived on the time secluded and no one else was there! Needless to say we were very surprised~
We waited a little bit and then a car came in. We were very excited! A man came out of the car and went in. We followed. Mom said we would like to try out the ice, that we were homeschoolers...etc! The guy looked a little confused but then said that will be 20...something dollars.
Mom was shocked! She said but this clipping said such-and-such??!!!!?!! She handed it to him and he looked at it (it did not have a date...only the day Thur. and the time!) and he said "well this was last week but, I will honer this any-way"....We were rather embarrassed! Haha!
We got our skates from the man and went out on the ice for 2 hrs. (the time allowed). We went around the edge a little bit till we got steady. Then we skated to our hearts content! There was no one else there and we had a fabulous time :)


Here are some pictures of us:

Lincoln and I~ (I think the ice had something to do with the blury-ness of this picture)~
