Using My New Glove

For Christmas I got a falconry glove.  At the Wildlife Animal Rescue, where I volunteer, they have a Red-tailed Hawk and a Goshawk.  Here are two pictures of me with these beautiful birds of prey.  If you would like to see more, visit our website (click here).

This is me with the Red-tailed Hawk.

First Skiing of the Season

When I switched schools from public school to Trinity, we weren't sure that I would be able to ski with the Alpine Program in Williston.  It turns out that on Friday afternoon, when ski lessons take place, I am having P.E. at school.  It's perfect!  Instead of P.E. at school, I get to go to Cochran's Ski Area in Richmond and ski.  Both are physical exercise so I'm not losing anything, and the Ski Program is open to all Williston students, regardless of what school they attend.  This is me on the first day of ski lessons.  I'm at Level 5 (out of 8).
