5th Grade Events with Hollie

(Ok, SLIGHTLY behind- we're now in 6th grade- better late than never right?!)
 
Hollie registered to do the Beehive Mile that was held at Watkins Park.  She had a great time doing it and even held back at the end because a friend of hers was having a hard time due to asthma.  I was quite proud of her.  She likes to be a part of so many different things, things I was much too intimidated to do at her age.

Then on top of it she decided to be in the 5th grade talent show! She sang a solo, "Let Me In" from Rigoletto with me accompanying her on the piano.  She did a wonderful job, she has a beautiful voice!  I'm so glad she doesn't let fear get in the way of doing these kinds of things.
 
I'm so grateful that all of my kids have a love for music!
 

Then of course she had to do the science fair.  Shaun is a good dad and agreed to help build a volcano.  They had a great time figuring out the perfect combination of vinegar and baking soda.  I'm not sure that she really cared about the logistics of a science fair as much as she just wanted to make something.  But regardless she had fun!
 
 
Now onto a new school and new adventures!
