A Sleepover at E's House By: Stella (Sis) Age: 9

I sometimes pack my bag, grab my pillow and sleeping bag and head over to my cousin, (E's) house!
When I get there we get ready to go outside. Her backyard is very large and she has lots of scooters and things to ride on. We then take out some makeup and we giggle as we put blue, orange, pink, purple, green and many other colors of eyeshadow all over our faces. Then we head inside and get supper. We have dumplings with creamy soup all over them! We then head outside again with muffins. We like to play outside in the evening because it is really peaceful out. We then head inside and roll out our sleeping bags. We get some icecream and then settle down to watch a movie. When the movie is over we pull out some dolls and play with them while we brush each other's hair. After that we get out a game and start to play with it. We stay up playing till 10:00 p.m! We start to get sleepy so we brush our teeth, floss them and take our vitamins. After that we dive into our sleeping bags and try to sleep but soon fall into a deep sleep. These trips are very fun and I am very grateful for being invited to my wonderful friend's house!

DI Competiton 2 By: Stella (Sis) Age: 9

My DI team came in second place as I told you a couple posts ago, and I mentioned that we would be going to States. We had lots and lots of fun at the State competition, although we will not be moving on to Globals. We worked hard this year, and we celebrated with a pizza party! We also had cake and ice-cream that we won at the cake walk! Well, here's how it went...

We (only Dad and I went to the competition) got up at 5:45 in the morning because the States Competition was located in a Kingston Highschool, an hour away from here.
We got up and got dressed and left. We went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and got some bagels. When we got to Kingston we waited in the cafeteria. We met the rest of the team and then we got our banner for the banner parade. We walked in holding it and then we sat down. The opening ceremony began. Then we watched some challenges until lunchtime. We had lunch and then played outside afterwards. Then we got in our costumes for our challenge. We got ready and put our makeup on, and then we headed in to the challenge! We did our challenge in about 6 minutes, and then we talked to the appraisers and headed out. We went back and got changed again, and then we watched some more challenges until it was time for our Instant Challenge, which I can not tell you or anybody about, (including parents, siblings, friends etc.) till after May; however, I can tell you that we did really well in our Instant Challenge and got 100 points out of 150! We were really excited! Then we went back to the cafeteria, cleaned up, and then went to the closing ceremonies. We had tons of fun! One of the teammates had brought bubble gum, and we all tried to make bubbles not very sucessfully!!!!! In all we had a great time at States and have had lots of fun in Destination Imagination this year!
