QOTD: "Being happy never goes out of style" Lily Pulitzer
In 2018 I participated in 2 christmas shows. The 2nd one I performed in was in Colorado. I skated to "Santa Baby" by Ariana Grande. I choreographed the whole thing by myself and had a ton of fun performing it. It was so fun to make and perform with new friends in Colorado! You can watch it right here, Hope you enjoy! :)

QOTD: "LET IT GO" ~Queen Elsa
My family and I went to visit beautiful ice castles. We visited them in Dillon, CO but there are a few other locations around the US. It is a big "castle" made of ice and inside there are crawl tunnels, slides, fountains and beautiful sculptures of icicles. It was really amazing and definitly worth going. When you walk around there is so much to see, they have some smaller slides and tunnels you have to crawl through, but they also have a huge slide and ...

QOTD: Dont get your tinsel in a tangle ~unknown
This year I was in 2 different christmas shows. The first one I participated in was in Wisconsin. I did it with one of my good friends Naihua (@naihuaskates on instagram). We skated to "I Want a Hippopotomaus for Christmas". She dressed up a hippo and I dressed up as a little girl. We choreographed the whole program by ourselves and it turned out pretty good:) I had so much fun performing it and I hope you enjoy watching it!

QOTD: Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire! ~Unknown
Along with freestyle I also work on ice dance a little bit. I am almost done with all of my gold dances! I think ice dance is so fun and it helps develop your skating skills as well as posture. If you thinking about doing some ice dance I definitly recommend you try! You can watch some of my recent Ice Dance tests right here!

Building our Homemade Zamboni

QOTD: Let new adventures begin! ~Unknown
Building a zamboni or "homeboni" is very simple. We used 1 inch PVC pipe. Glued it together in the shape you see in the picture.
Once you hook a hose to it, you just need to adjust the water to the right amount. The right amount is very hard to know. We put one hole in the top T so we could easily see the water flow. After a few trials we know how much to adjust based on the top hole. On our homeboni we adjust until the water lands on the outside ...
