6th Summer Waterfall Hike

Today we went on our 6th summer waterfall hike ti Daniel Ridge Falls anf Looking Glass Falls. Mom forgot the memory card for the camera but we have a few picture from her iTouch.

Waves End of Season Lake Party

This afternoon the Asheville Waves Swim Team celebrated the end of the season. It's technically not over yet, we have our final big meet this Saturday. We had a potluck out at Biltmore Lake beach. There was a swimming arena and a floating dock. I had a lot of fun. It was nice just being able to play in the water with my swim team friends. 

Serafina and The Black Cloak Book Event

After my swim meet we went to Barnes and Noble for the book signing event for Serafina and The Black Cloak. The author lives here in Asheville and it's about a girl named Serafina and takes place in the Biltmore Estate in the year 1899. I haven't had a chance to read the book yet (just came out Tuesday and we bought it Wednesday) but the characters from the book trailer where there and I got the meet them. Also since my copy was already an autographed copy we didn't wait in the LONG line to get our copy singed but I saw the author. I can't wait to read the book. It sounds like a good mystery.

First I.M. Asheville Waves

This morning I competed in my first ever I.M. (individual medley) event during our swim meet. It was challenging but I'm going to do it again in our next and final swim meet.

Park Rhythms

Tonight we went out to Lake Tomahawk to Park Rhythms. We brought our dinner and enjoyed the band Atlas Road Crew

Happy 4th of July

For the Fourth we had some friends over and had a cookout along with some small fireworks and sparklers in the front yard. It was a great time and everyone had fun.
