Spending Time with Alyssa!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon and evening with my friend Alyssa.

We had such a fun time.  After school Alyssa had tennis lessons at the Swim and Tennis club, but this week’s class was cancelled because of the rain. So we decided to work out and went over to the cardio workout room and jumped on the treadmill.  Despite having short legs, I had a great work out, I never knew how hard it was to run on a treadmill.

After that we headed over to lift weights and do some tummy exercises.  As you can see from the pictures we used the Swiss ball to do sit-ups and crunches.

Once we had completed our lifting exercises, Alyssa wanted to go for a swim so we walked over to the pool for a short swim.  Did you know that I could swim?

After the swim we were both hungry so we drove over to the grocery store to pick up the food items we needed to make fajitas.  At the store we bought onions, yellow and red bell pepper, jalapenos and flour tortillas and drove to her house.

Once we were there, we started preparing the items for the fajitas.  I helped cut the peppers and onions while Alyssa grated the cheese and helped make the rice and beans. The dinner turned out great! It was the first time I had fajitas, and I look forward to them again.

After we helped clean up the dishes, we went to the mall to do a little shopping for Alyssa’s mommy and also picked up a surprise gift for someone very special.

Once the shopping was done we went home to take a shower and then headed to bed. It was a very fun day, but now it is time for this Tasmanian Devil to get some sleep.

Have you ever made fajitas?

What kind of exercise do you do?
