Saturday morning, my football team, and the other flag football teams in the area that made it to the play-offs in Arizona, had a really great experience. To show how excited and proud they were of us for making it to the play-offs, the Redskins invited the teams to Redskins' Park for a tour.
When we got there, they gathered all the teams and brought us to an auditorium. They showed us a video of highlights and such from our games at the tournament. Then, one-by-one, they called the teams up, gave us little awards, and took our pictures. After that, we got to start the tour.
First, they showed us the main floor, which had many trophies, awards, and artifacts that the redskins have gotten. We also got to see the studio that they record the Redskins show in. A couple of the girls on my team and Bart represented our team in an interview for the Redskins show. After they finished their interview, we moved to the bottom floor where they showed us the gym, the GIGANTIC kitchen, and where the players' room was, even though we weren't allowed in there.
From there, they brought us to the outdoor field (inside one of those "bubbles") that the Redskins train in when it gets very cold. When we got there, a couple people that work with the Redskins made small speeches, and then they took a picture of all of the teams. Our team, alone, took some pictures there too, because we were the Redskins as well. After the official tour was over, my team stayed on the field for a bit just to hang out. Then, my mom and I headed back home.
It was really nice of the Redskins to invite all of the teams to the park. I'm really happy that I was able to have this experience and every experience from football that led up to it. I know that the girls on my team and I had a really great time, and I'm sure that the other teams did too.

Snow Week!!
Last week, it snowed.... a lot! Because of that snow, my friends had many days off from school.
The snow started on Tuesday. They first called for ten to twelve inches, but then it was changed to five to eight inches. We got about six inches. On Tuesday, my sisters, a couple of my friends, and I went sledding at the beginning of the day. Later that day, I went to a friend's house and we watched a movie.
On Wednesday, my best friend, Frances, didn't have school and our other friends had a two-hour delay. So, we got up at 9:30 in the morning, walked to starbucks with them and then walked them to school. It was very cold. Frances stayed at my house after that and we watched TV with my sisters while we tried to stay warm.
Unfortunately, on Thursday, everybody had school :( So, there wasn't very much extra fun happening. But, Frances did sleep over that night.
On Friday morning, my Uncle Lenny got here. Frances didn't have school again and our other friends had another two-hour delay. It was too cold to walk on Friday, so my mom drove us to Starbucks to meet our friends before school. We then drove them to school as well. On Friday night, I went to Frances' house to celebrate her dad's birthday. Then I got home and I hung out with the family, including Uncle Lenny.
Saturday was very cold. If you've read my other blogs you know that many of our Cherry Tree plans were switched up a little bit due to the weather. But, we still had an amazing time!
On Sunday, we stayed home in the morning because of the weather. In the afternoon I had a basketball game. My family, Uncle Lenny, and our family friends came to that. We won! After our game, Frances and I went to that same family friends' basketball game. It was really fun!! Then once I got back to my house, my family watched Blended and then The Walking Dead!!!
It was a really great snow week. Hopefully we get some more snow before this winter ends!

Post - Cherry Tree Massacre
This past Saturday was the 42nd Annual Alumni Cherry Tree Massacre. Since I wrote a before post, I figured I would follow up on how it went.
It was very snowy... and icy... and cold. So, overall, the weather wasn't very good at all. This caused some problems. Most people that we invited didn't end up coming. It ended up being, my family, UNCLE LENNY, Aubrey's friend, two of my friends, and one of their moms. So a much smaller group than we are used to. Even though I would have LOVED to have more of our friends there, we all still had a really great time.
The show itself was really great. Along with our friends, I think three of the six groups canceled. We still had The GW Pitches, The GW Sons of Pitches, GU Superfood, and of course the Georgetown Chimes. Since there were only so many groups, one group of alums went up to perform as well.
Just like every other year, I so enjoy going to this show. Seeing a bunch of the chimes, meeting the new chimes and neos, being there with my family, listening to all the groups, everything about it is great! Each year it's always something I look forward to, and this year the experience definitely lived up to it's expectations.
I'm very happy that, even through the weather, the show still went on. From this point until next year, I will be waiting for Cherry Tree <3

Valentine's Day!
Happy Belated Valentine's Day!!
This Valentine's Day was really fun for me. Pretty busy, but really fun.
I woke up and my mom made breakfast: Eggs ("Mom's eggs", AKA - the best eggs you'll ever taste), Bacon, and Cinnamon Rolls. It was delicious.
After we ate, my younger sister, Liberty, and I got dressed and ready for our first activity of the day, which was meeting my football team at the mall for some ice skating. It was a nice little gathering of a few of the girls on my team and our coach's son.
We ice skated for about an hour and then we went and ate lunch at the food court. After lunch, one of the girls left, but the rest of us went to the arcade in the mall. Turns out I'm amazing at Air Hockey. Another one of my teammates left, so from there we went downstairs to get Starbucks. While Liberty was waiting for her drink to be ready, my mom arrived to pick us up. We grabbed her drink, said our goodbyes, and headed home.
After a few hours of just lounging around at home, I got ready for and went to my basketball scrimmage, that was also really fun since we didn't have a game this weekend.
I left the scrimmage early so I could get ready to go watch my friend's basketball game.
Highlight of my week! It was so great, they won by a lot, and my friend did really well.
After the game, my friend's family took me and one of his teammates to get ice cream. It was so much fun and I'm so glad I was able to go.
As you can see, my Valentine's Day was pretty busy, but it was also so much fun!
I hope you had a great Valentine's Day as well.

Post - Potomac Mills
Monday, at about midnight, we got home from our two day shopping spree at Potomac Mills. It was a lot of fun. Both days were filled with a lot of shopping... I mean, obviously, that was the point of the trip.
We left on Sunday morning, right after we picked Lib up at CCD, so around 11:45. We got to the mall at around 12:20. Since the mall closed at 8 o'clock on Sunday night, we did the shorter side of the mall that day. We finished all the stores that we wanted to go to before 8. We then shopped at "And That!" (The Christmas Tree Shop), which was open until 11. We didn't stay there until 11 however. Instead, we shopped there for a bit and went to The Silver Diner for dinner. First day: have to
On Monday, we ate breakfast at our hotel and headed to the mall shortly after it opened. Although, at times, we were worried we wouldn't finish all the shops in time, we finished by around 9 and the mall didn't close until 11. Even though it was the longer side! For dinner that night we went to Red Robn and ate far too much food. It was delicious though! Day 2: have lots more fun and eat crazy amounts of food - check!
This year we all had a really great time, as usual. I got some presents checked off my list, and picked out a lot of stuff for myself XD! I'm really glad we are always able to go on this trip and have so much fun and I hope that this tradition hangs around for a long time!
Until next year, Potomac Mills!
Happy (almost) Holidays!!
