Snow and Good News

Hello, bloggers and blog readers. It's Hayden. I have good news! Quinn talked with her mom for over two months about coming to Pogo Academy ,the sports school I attend. And her Mum finally let said yes! Quinn will start her classes after Christmas Holidays. So far, Quinn has picked Wheelchair Basketball and she wants to ref for the younger kids. She can always choose more activites before she comes, though. But like me, she also has to attend her regular classes, like Science and English. I really hope she does Wheelchair Tennis, so she can play tennis with me. She's also thinking about Wheelchair Skiing for the winter. It sounds like tons of fun, but really hard, too! And some more good news: there's snow everywhere! Quinn and I love snow, and today we went outside to go play in it. Click HERE to see our "Snow Day" video, and look below for my favorite picture of Quinn and I in the snow.
We'll Blog Soon!

Wheelchair-Basketball

Hey, everyone. It's Quinn. Today I finally tried wheelchair-basketball.I never thought I would say this, but I must say, I am pretty good at it. I knew most of the basics of basketball already, but Hayden came out and taught me the rest of it. I even scored a few baskets.
In the last post, Hayden was talking about how she really wanted me to come to Pogo Academy. Well, I'll play some more basketball, and maybe discover a new wheelchair sport or two, and then I'll decide. I was thinking about it, and it actually sounds pretty fun. Here are some basket ball pictures. Sorry, there are only 3. There is the one below, and all three are in an album. Click HERE to see the album.

Pogo Academy

Hey, It's Hayden. Well, I am back for another year at Pogo Academy. Those of you who don't know, it is the sports school that I go to. I am doing soccer and tennis again, this year. I might do volleyball later on in the year, if I can. For months, I have been trying to get Quinn to come to Pogo Academy, but she says she can't, since she's in a wheelchair. Well, she's wrong! I told her that we have lot's of sports for people in wheelchair's. Pogo offers wheelchair-basketball, wheelchair-racing, wheelchair-tennis, wheelchair-hockey, and even wheelchair-snow-skiing in winter! (Yes, those ARE all real sports.) She said she'd let me teach her a little bit of wheelchair-basketball just to see if she likes it or not. I really hope she does. Wouldn't that awesome to play sports with my best friend at school? *Fingers Crossed!*

Oh, and today was picture day, so here's my picture:

Trip with Ruthie

Hey, everybody it's Quinn. Hayden and I just got back from a trip with our friend, Ruthie! We went to Killarney, a small town in Canada, so I am pretty sure none of you have heard of it. We did tons of fun things like go to the lake, play on a GIANT checkerboard, and camp out in the trailer. It was so much fun, and I am very jealous of my friends, Mia and Julie, because they get to go there next week. I hope I can go again next summer! Here are some pictures.

We Love Ice Cream :)

So far we are having a great summer together and I am really excited to see what we will do next. Here's a few pictures from the Ice Cream album. What's your favorite ice cream?

Here is the whole Ice Cream

Hayden Is Finally On Summer Vacation!

Hey everybody! It's Quinn. Hayden is finally on summer vacation. The sports academy that she goes to (Pogo Academy) ends school on June 11th (yesterday) and it starts again later than other schools. Yesterday I went to her award ceremony, and guess what? She got an award! The "Good Sport Award". Her Coach/Teacher, Coach Potter said that win or lose, Hayden is always nice about it. That's very true, Coach Potter!

Here is the album link of Hayden, me, and our friends at the award ceremony. Enjoy!

Hayden In Clear Lake

Hey everyone! It's Hayden. I just got back from camping in Clear Lake for a week. Abbey and Chloe have been there tons of times, but this was my first time going and I had so much fun, since I love the outdoors. We ate ice cream, had campfires, took pictures and even went to a really cool garden with bridges and a wishing well! My wish was that I could stay in Clear Lake all summer. That would be so much fun! I would miss all of my friends, though. Anyways, here is the link to the album of me in Clear Lake. I hope you like it!

Ouch!

Hey, It's Hayden. Quinn and I were going to explore outside yesterday and make a post about it, but then I hurt myself. Right when we started exploring, I took a fall on the pavement. I sort of did a pavement face-plant. Yeah, it seems funny now, but it wasn't funny then! I got a scratch on my nose and my lip. Abbey healed it a little bit, and it's getting better so I won't have to go to the Doll Hospital. Yay! Anyway, after I hurt myself, I snuggled up in comfy clothes and a blanket, and I sat with Quinn. She even brought me some hot chocolate. Yes, It's summer. But I think hot chocolate is for any season! Here is a picture of Quinn and I. It's dark because I hurt myself in the evening. I like the picture, though, because Quinn is leaning on me :)


*You can't really see my scratches because it is a dark picture. And Quinn says you can only see it if you are right up close to my face. So that's good.

I'm Lucky to have a Friend like Hayden

Hey, guys. It's Quinn blogging! Today I was reading by the garden, when Hayden did something really nice that made me think about how lucky I am to have a best friend like her. Follow the photostory to see why.


I was sitting there by the garden, reading a magazine, and waiting for Hayden to get home from school. (I'm home-schooled, so I finish a bit earlier than her. She goes to a sports school, called Pogo Academy.)


Hayden finally got home, and waved over to me.


"Hey, Hayden!"


"What did you do at school today?"


"We worked on our tennis skills a lot. I love Pogo Academy!"


"So, whatcha reading?"


"An AG magazine. I love all the fun crafts and recipes."


And out of nowhere, Hayden did the nicest thing.


She lifted me out of my wheelchair. Okay, okay, she does that all the time. But I didn't even ask, and she helped me sit on the grass just because she wanted to talk with me.


And we talked for, like, two hours straight. I am so happy to have a best friend like Hayden.
