May Pinto and Fiona McDermott

Hey it's Mar.

So my dad works at Dell computers and sometimes he works from home.
When he works from home he has meetings over the computer. Sometimes he lets me talk to his co-workers.

I talk to one of his co-workers a lot. Her name is May Pinto. She lives in India!
Today I also talked to Fiona McDermott. She lives in Ireland.

It's really cool to talk to people from the other side of the world.

Cant wait until next time !!!!!

bye!

Hey its Mar!  So the San Marcos Children's Park (Playscape) has this cool mural that the artist, Mabel Sirup came up with (And yes, Mabel Sirup is her real name it's not made up...say it out loud, it's fun!).  On Saturday, June 14 they had a event called Community Paint Day and it was so much fun! They let kids paint flowers and put their hand prints on the wall, they also had a photo booth, a coloring place set up and they had cool coffee filter art! So if you happen to be driving by the San Marcos Children's Park during June 1–31 stop by and Mabel said to me that sometimes, if she's there painting, you can come by and she will let you help her on the mural.  Then next time you go to the park you can say "I painted this part."  So I hope you stop by the mural!

p.s. the mural is on the bathroom building

Event Review - Hays Swim Club Home Meet

Hey it's Mar. 
Today I went to a swim meet for HAYS SWIM TEAM I did not swim but I did have lots of fun with my friends!

Three swimmers from the Hays Swim Club sang the National Anthem

So, every swim meet there's a theme. The last swim meet I went to, the theme was hula. Today's theme was Totally 80s. I had a side pony tail with some fabric in a bow, I also had pink shorts on with neon peace signs on them, and for my shirt i had my (awesome) HAYS SWIM TEAM shirt on.

My mom was handing out the ribbons to the swimmers who got 1st 2nd and 3rd place. She handed out the ribbons to the swimmers who got first place in their heat and my sister got got first place in her HEAT!!!!!!!!!!! 

My sister getting a ribbon.

In my sisters tent there was a real live scorpion. It was so cool to see a scorpion!!! 

They had a concesstion stand with chips, candy, pizza ,sandwiches,donuts and pickles. They also had shaved ice with fresh fruit (p.s. BEST SHAVED ICE EVER)I think the best flavor is            watermelon because it tastes so much like watermelon. 

Wait! It is real watermelon.  (Note: Shaved Ice was from "Natural Fruit Shaved Ice")

So today i a awesome day and i can't wait till next saturday. 

FYI this swim meet was at the McNaughton Pool in Plum Creek pool by Negley Elementary in Kyle, Texas.
The Hays Swim Club Tidal Waves went head to head with the Circle C Seals.


P.S. good job HAYS and SEALS

Hey it's mar! On Saturday my family and I went to this cool event called FroggyPalooza in Kyle ,TX! So FroggyPalooza was put on by a day care called Texas Little Conservationists to raise money for a playground.

They had a Bar-B-Q contest, a kiddie play area with face painting (which my dad, my sister and I took over), hopscotch and musical chairs. they also had a silent auction,karaoke and Grammy's Tasty Treats (which is a ice cream truck in Kyle ,TX).  So if you think this sounds fun come next year for the 2nd annual Froggy Palooza! 

P.S. THEY RAISED A LOT OF MONEY;) ;) ;)

Here are some photos from the day.
