Mary Mother of the Church Carnival

Hi, Xia here. Mommy sings about once a month with Sound Doctrine at Mary Mother of the Church. Tim, the singer/guitarist in Sound Doctrine is a member there. On Saturday 7/31/10, the band was asked to sing at their summer carnival. This is the first time the church has done this and BOY was it fun.

While Mommy and the band set up...

Daddy, Isa and I went to check out the rides! First, a train:



Then I had a blast jumping around in this big thing:



Then the band started to sing, so we rushed back to watch. Tim and John getting in sync with Brian:

Mommy, Lauren and Heather ready to do their harmony thing:

And me making a bunch of friends dancing and having fun!







I ended the evening with a great ride on the alligator roller coaster!



Thanks MMOTC for a VERY fun evening!

Vacation Time - Lancaster Catholic High Carnival

It's me, Xia. Has it really been a whole year since the last Catholic High Carnival? On the evening of Monday 6/21/10 we all went to this year's carnival. It's such a great time.

Here's Isa enjoying the music from the band playing that night:



I was really excited to ride the Dumbo ride. As Daddy and I waited in line I started to feel a little anxious, so Daddy agreed to ride it with me. I enjoyed the ride until Dumbo went up in the air! Then I just buried my face against Daddy until it was over. I think I'll stick to rides that don't do that for now. This video doesn't show the part when our Dumbo went up, up, up...



Then I decided I just HAD to win a goldfish to take home with me. However, I was just whipping the ball any which way hoping it would land in a cup:

Instead, I hit the girl getting the fish out of the tank for everyone!



Finally, one of them went in and I got my prize!

Mr. Fishy is still doing well in his fish bowl at this point. Daddy kept a carnival fish alive over 3 years that he won before I was born. Hope this fish is just as lucky as most carnival fish don't make it very long!

A shot of us girls before we go home (well, excluding Mr. Fishy - though I really don't know if he's a girl or a boy anyway!):
