MAIJA'S HOT SPOTS: FROZEN YOGURT

I like this place so much because it has so many different kinds of ice cream and you can put all different kinds of candy to put on your ice cream.

There is also an arcade in the back and you don’t even need to pay to play it!!

But for some reason nobody is in that room so much.

My favorite ice cream is the blue cotton candy because it tastes like cotton candy but even better!!!

I also like to put at least 1 or 2 fruits and berries to stay strong.

I also put a lot of candy such as gummy warms, sprinkles, m & m’s, and of course crunched up Oreos mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

That is why this is one of my hot spots!

 

 

MAIJA'S HOT SPOTS: HIDDEN FALLS PARK

I like this place, because it has the most interesting to be in the playground it is so cool! There are rock climbing and tire swinging!  Well, I am not sure about the tire swinging though. 

I went to a  birthday party there once and we walked up a big, big, big mountain.  It was so hot that we threw water balloons at each other!!! We were nice and cool then. We also walked up a humongous mountain so that got us all worn out again.

The food was great!

The playground was really fun! My favorite thing there is a little ………… well it’s a little hard to explain but it does make you really dizzy.

That is why this is one of my Henderson hot spots!!!

 

 

MAIJA'S HOT SPOTS: HORSEBACK RIDING TEACHER'S HOUSE

I like this place because one of my best friends lives there. 

 

My teacher is very nice and we are also best friends. 

We have so much in common. 

 

The horse I ride on every day is named Piggy.  You can call her Piglet.  She looks so beautiful.  Piggy has a sparkling coat and a fabulous main!

She sometimes gets really worn out and she tries to trot back to her friend, Maggie but I mostly get a hold of her so I can have more time to ride piggy but sometimes she gets really angry and I try to pull her but she just won’t budge.

 That is why this is my Henderson hot spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 P.S. Just in case you are wondering..Maija is wearing part of her Halloween costume in the beginning...Tiger hair band.  Maddie has her Marching Band Drill Team make up on from earlier practise.

MAIJA'S HOT SPOTS: PANERA BREAD

I chose this place because it’s my favorite place to go to eat.
When I go there with my parents they thought I couldn’t eat all of the food I got.
I ate ALL of it and they were so surprised!!

I always get the Caesar salad, chicken noodle soup, and sour dough bread on the side.
I always eat all of it.

I always go to there with my mom, grandmother, or my cousins. 

 My dad does not like it at all!!!

 

That is why I chose this hot spot!!!

THE MARCHING BAND SEASON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!

Last night the Foothill High School Marching Band had their first competition of the season. 

Jason and I went and supported them,

helping, cheering and wearing the band sweat shirts.

 

Past month I have been sewing the color guard flags with several other women. 

I have to say that the flags looked great...and I will never look at the flags same way again...it was so much work!

 

But all the hours of working on props, kids practising, us loading and unloading the semi, fundraising...all of it...was worth it!

 

Foothill high School took a 1st place! They also won the best music, the best general effect, and the best visual!

 

 

Go Foothill High School!

And this is only the beginning.  Next five weeks they will have a competition every Saturday, including one in California and one in Utah.

 

Here is a picture of the marching band from last year. 

 

Can you find Markus? :)

 

 

MAIJA'S HENDERSON HOT SPOTS

This past two weeks Maija has been working on her school project, called: "Maija's Henderson Hot Spots".  She had to choose at least five of her favorite places in Henderson.  She had to present them on a poster board with pictures and descriptions of each.

Last Friday we drove all around Henderson to take pictures of her hot spots, so she could add them to her poster.

Next few days you are in for a treat...I will post each day one of her Hot Spots with pictures and her description.
