The Lovely Life of Lila Loo

Eat, Sleep, Play Volleyball In this post, I want to talk about my favorite sport...volleyball! Volleyball is a fun sport that girls and boys all around the world play! This summer I have done two volleyball camps.  I did one at the YMCA and one at the high school. Each camp has helped me work on my skills and helped me gain confidence both on and off the court. How the Game is Played  In this game there are 3 moves: bump, set, and spike. Each team gets three hits.  First there is a passer and the passer has to bump the ball to the setter. A bump is a motion where you put your arms together, and the ball has to hit the spot in between your wrist and the middle of your arms. Once the ball is passed to the setter, the setter takes his or her hands, puts them in a diamond shape above their head, and sets it to the spiker. The spiker then hits the ball really hard with the palm of their hand over the net.  If the other team fails to get the ball back over th...

Horse Camp! This week I attended Rosaire's Horse Riding Camp! It was a lot of fun and I got to learn how to ride horses! This horse camp didn't just have horses, but it also had a petting zoo with adorable goats and chickens, lots of cute little ponies and an awesome playground! In the mornings, the horses got collected from the field and saddled for riding! We usually do about three or four rotations.  During these rotations, about seven people got to walk, trot, and canter around the arena. After your turn, you could play on the playground, go to the petting zoo, or go to the pony workshop. I bet your wondering what the pony workshop is. Well, the pony workshop is where you get to groom the ponies and walk them around so they can eat grass! The ponies can be very stubborn at times, but no matter how stubborn they get they're so cute you can't stay mad at them. Then, at the end of the day you get to ride again, but this time bare back! Bare back riding is where you ...

Pink Hair, Don't Care     This post is about some fun ( non permanent ) summer hair! The other day I had a hair dying party!  I want to give a shout out to my great hair dresser who did my awesome hair - Dana Arcos! I got to choose between 3 different colors - purple, pink, and blue. Since I love pink and it would work best with my hair color, I chose pink. First, my hair was separated in to different sections. Next, my hair was brushed piece by piece with the pink color, and wrapped in tin foil. Then, I waited about thirty minutes for my color to set. Last, we rinsed out my hair and blow dried it. For a little extra touch, Dana curled my hair to give it some extra wow factor!  After that my hair was pink and had a real summery vibe! Dana made my great summer hair possible and I owe a lot of thanks to her!That wraps it up for my crazy pink hair.  Thanks for reading my post and I hope that I might have inspired you to try some crazy summer ...

SUMMER!!! Finally it's summer: no school, no learning, no being cooped up in a classroom! I'm so excited! This summer I'm planning on going to the beach, practicing volleyball, and hanging out with my friends and fam. This summer is a big one for me because I'm going to a different school next year. I'm switching schools so that I can be with my mom ( a teacher ) and my little sister. Since my mom works there I got to meet some really nice kids that will be in my class next year. I'm a little nervous, but I know that it will be a great fifth grade year! A goal I have this summer is to get more comfortable in my new church so that when I go in to fifth grade I can do some of the leadership programs through the church! It is really important to me to be involved in church because I can do more things and feel more comfortable while I'm learning about Christ. One last thing that I'm looking forward to this summer is going to Missouri! My aunt and uncle b...
