This year I got the super cool opportunity to go to the International Children’s Games in Lake Placid with Team Summit representing the town of Frisco. In the fall I wrote an essay to apply, and after they reviewed that and my past results, I got in! I was super excited because a lot of…

2nd Place at USASA Nationals
This year I really wanted to focus on BoarderX more so that I could do my very best at nationals. Last year I hadn’t focused enough and sadly I got out on my 2nd round which was very sad. At Nationals this year, I had done okay in halfpipe and slope style the days before,…

Rocky Mountain National Park- Sky Pond
Last Saturday I went to Rocky Mountain National Park with Gabe, dad, and mom. It was like three hours out there, but I listened to Percy Jackson, so it passed quickly. The hike was really pretty and fun. It was 9.00 miles round trip though, so it got a little tiring. The first thing we…

This is another story I wrote for my freewrite time for my writing class today: Once upon a time, there lived a koala and his name was Kirk. Kirk wasn’t like every koala for her lived in a picture, and in his picture there was bamboo that never ran out and the sky was always…

Baby Bathtubs
Baby bathtubs was a very fun hike we did in Ouray. It wasn’t much of a hike, but there were little pools of water that Isaac and I played in. They were so much fun. There was a little waterfall, and the rocks were big and smooth where water ran through.
