I'm So Sorry!/An Update on the Happy Halls
long! I'll make it up to you by trying super hard to post twice a month.
I can't believe it's fall again! I'm now eleven! Here's a little update on the Halls. I'm eleven as you know. My dad is almost forty! My mom is thirty-seven at the time. Travis is six. And finally Minnie, my cat, is one!
By the way the Happy Pumpkin didn't work out. For one thing I didn't blog enough. Also the pumpkin didn't get much bigger!
I really hope you'll check back in with the Happy Halls soon. Again I'm sorry about not posting. Thanks for visiting the Happy Halls!

My Piano Recital
The first song I played was a solo. Midnight Dance it was called. It was quick, fast, and pretty easy to memorize. I played it note-to-note perfect. Here it is.
That was Midnight Dance. The next song was also a solo. It was called Sunset on Equinox Pond. I also played it note-to-note perfect. Here it is.
That was Sunset on Equinox Pond. The next song I played (Polka Dot Hop) was a duet. I did mess up a few times on that one and so did my piano teacher. Here it is.
That was Polka Dot Hop. Did you hear it when I messed up? It was my first piano recital. I have to say it was a pretty good experiance. I'm glad I'm done with all those songs. I got so tired of playing them over and over again. I'm glad you get to hear the songs I've been practicing for so long. I hope this was a happy visit with the Happy Halls. I hope you can visit again soon. Bye!

Our Happy Trip to Zion NP
I actually took that last picture. There are three pools. The Lower Pool, the Middle Pool, and the Upper Pool (that's the one in the picture.). There are three waterfalls. Two at the Lower Pool and one at the Upper Pool. When we got to the Lower Pool I had to hold my dad's hand. We had to be right on time or we would get sprayed by the waterfall. You had to run until you were at least twenty feet away from it. The Emerald Pools Trail was way fun. I could have done it a million times. The next day my dad and I went on a horse ride. It was sooooo fun! My horse's name was Pretty Boy. Dad's horse was Leroy. We saw a wide variety of plants and animals. Why we even saw a wild turkey! It was sad when it was over. And again here are some awesome pictures.
I Feel Tall!
Hello There!
We stopped at Court of the Patriarchs.
(Court of the Patriarchs are three cliffs named Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.)
It got kind of cold when we came back from the horse ride so we swung by the Human History Museum. Travis and I were working on our Junior Ranger badges and to do some of the activities we had to go to the museum. We watched a video and learned some cool things about the park. Like did you know that Zion has over 270 different types of birds? And did you know that there is a snail the size of a pinhead that lives only in Zion? Way cool! The next day we went on a short hike to Weeping Rock. Later we went to the Narrows and did Riverside Walk. Zion was way cool. I just can't tell you everything so I'll show you pictures instead.

Zion was really neat. I hope you get the chance to go there. And thanks for visiting with the Happy Halls!

Girl Scouts
Here's Troop 354
We also did pottery on the second floor of the lodge. It was really fun. I made a mask for myself and a bowl with a snake in it for Travis. I also made a mouse for Minnie. By the time I got the second ear to stick to the mouse, an eye had rubbed off it.
Here I am. I'm an artist at work.
There were many competitions. There was a snow skulpting competition. There was a snowflake making competition. There was a snow painting competition (that was the only one we got pictures of) and many more we didn't enter.
Here I am with my beautiful picture.
The next picture you are going to see is of something so cool.
Look at the ice skulpture. Isn't it awesome!
The winter fest was so fun. Sadly, there was a little incident and I went home. Another girl went home too because she wasn't feeling too great. Thanks so much for visiting the Happy Halls. I hope you come again soon.

Christmas
Me playing the piano at our Christmas Eve performance
Christmas was so fun. I got and gave so many wonderful presents.
Look at those stockings!
Look at us!
Look at those presents!
We stayed for a few more days in Idaho. We went to three movies. We had sooo much fun. It was sad when we had to leave. I feel like I should post more this week since I haven't posted in a while. So tomorrow I'm going to try to post again. Thanks for visiting the Happy Halls.
