In case you don't know, Kalyumet in the campground in Clarion that my family has a seasonal spot at. This year, Kalyumet made their first commercial, and my little Mexican was one of the stars!
Without a doubt, some of the finest acting I have ever seen. She deserves an Emmy or something. Such passionate pizza eating... it almost brought me to tears.
This post come a few weeks late, things have been pretty busy! But just a quick update regarding Mex and her aging. On Augst 29th, Andrea turned fourteen. Fourteen is such a wonderful age, right? Anyway, here's some pictures!
For her birthday I drew her a wonderful portrait of herself. I must say, the resemblance is striking.
Andrea has always been the one with the athletic gifts in our family. Which is fine. I have the beauty and the brains, so I guess she can have the brawn. She has played basketball and softball for as long as I can remember. This is our first year with volleyball, and like everything else she's proved to be a natural.
I have to say that I am most impressed by her serve. Many of the girls continue to struggle with overhand serves, but she sends the ball flying all the way across the court.
The only things about volleyball that does not come naturally to her is her uniform. For whatever reason, their uniform pants are spandex. They look more like speedos than pants, and Mex hates them. I mean loathes them. I think she adjusts them at least fifty times during her games and she refuses to be photographed in them. Obviously, I haven't been listening.
Whenever she does catch me taking her picture in those lovely hot pants, she yells and screams and throws a fit that allows me to snap timeless gems like thess:
I'm 22 years old and going to school to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I have the attention span of a flea. My life may be boring to some people, but I do my best to keep things exciting!
