On March 18, Fredericksburg’s walk downtown was fun. My Nana and I drove down to Fredericksburg and my sister met us there. On the way, we saw an ice cream place with a lot of people standing outside of it, we assumed it was good.  So we went and got some ice cream and it was really good. It was soft and creamy.  Then we went to a nearby antique shop.  I got a painting and my Nana got some buttons.  After that we went to the Lodge.  We met Ashley, she is very nice and funny.  Shortly after that we began the walk, while walking we went to a pizza place called Benny’s.  Ashley talked to us about an old cemetery with a tree growing through a gravestone and it seemed pretty cool.  Ashley has been working at the cemetery since she was four years old.   What makes the cemetery interesting is that it’s the oldest American Masonic cemetery.   While waiting for the pizza Ashley and I exchange numbers.  After getting the pizza we went to a nearby public square and ate the AMAZING pizza.  It was so good I kept the box for show and tell!  We took some pictures had some laughs and said good-bye until next time.

Manassas Assembly #13

On Saturday April 14, Sara,Kensley, Lauren, Alex and Reagan participated in the yearly competitions. On the way up to Richmond we went to Chick-fil-A and got lunch. After we went to the Dollar Tree to get snacks for our trip and I slipped my Chick-fil-A cup on the ground and made a mess! Once we made it to competitions I got very nervous because 11-13 year olds went first and that meant that Alex and I were first. After we competed, it was Sara’s turn for the Rose Lecture; following that it was Lauren and Kensley’s turn! While we waited for Rodeo to start, we colored pictures! When it was time for Rodeo, Sara, Lauren, Alex and myself competed. Richmond’s Assembly Room was a little different so it was somewhat a challenge! We all went to dinner at Hibachi Grill and we took pictures! Today was a great day and I look forward to next year!

On Sunday April 8, Lauren, Alex, Reagan, and Kensley attended Immanuel Baptist Church for Rainbow Sunday. Pastor Brian was lively and spoke about how we hear God. He made the attending people think, but in a way that wasn’t too complicated. At the end of the service we gave Pastor Brian a thank you card for allowing us to use the church’s gym for our vendor fair. Then we went to Red Robin and ate lunch. We looked at the several pictures around and saw one that said “ Do I have ketchup in my mustache “ we were with Dad Gansler and since he has a mustache we asked him to recreate it and he did. We joked around until our food came and had an overall good time. Lauren, Alex, Reagan, and Kensley then headed to our Lodge to practice for Competitions. We stayed late going over our parts but still had a good time.
