Molly!!!

Hi! This is me, the one and only  Molly!  I live with my seven friends on American Girl Farms. I have a dad, a mom, an older sister Jill, an older brother Ricky, and a younger brother Brad. My hobbies are: rollerskating, playing with my puppy Bennet, learning how to ride a horse, sleeping, camping, and talking with my friends late into the night! I have so much fun with each of my friends and we are all a little circle that has been together since we were around three and four. Pretty cool right? Well I love each of my friends personalities and I would never change them. All my friends say I am caring and very nice, as well as super smart. I admit, that I have always gotten fairly good grades on stuff, but I still don't like talking about it, since I always try not to brag. My friends love to camp with me and say that I am a good brave leader. They always want me to be there with them, and I would never miss an event with them in it. My friends are like my sisters. Talk to you later!!!!!!

Kanani!!

Aloha! I am Kanani Akina. I have a mom and a dad, and I live on American Girl Farms with my seven friends. I am Hawaiian. My hair is past my waist and curly at the bottom. I always keep a bathing suit underneath my clothes when I am out in about, just in case I have the chance to take a quick stop at the beach! As you can see in this picture, I have my pink one on. See the pink strap going around my neck? Well my hobbies are: collecting shells, making shell boxes for Gladrags, surfing, making posters to help people save Hawaiian Monk Seals, selling shaved ice, writing about my adventures, giving surfing lessons, laughing, and asking to be interviewed by Kit. So far we are trying to work out the Kanani Times daily newspaper! Well, I'll check back in with you later!

Aloha,

Kanani

Elizabeth!!!

Hi, I am Elizabeth Cole. I have a mom, a dad, and an older sister Annabelle. I live on American Girl Farms with my seven friends. My hobbies are: scrap booking, sewing, riding horses, painting, reading, relaxing, and helping out at Gladrags. The reason I like to help out at Gladrags, is that I like to sew. I can sew a patch in less then ten minutes, and am considered a professional assistant at Gladrags. I even give some lessons to Julie, who can sew a patch in twenty minutes. So far I have broken her down to fifteen minutes. Well, I like to converse with all my friends and the people in their families. Some kids are scared to talk to other children's parents, but since I live on American Girl Farms with all my friend's parents, I don't mind talking with anyone. I mainly give advice to people and people describe me as their best helper. I am actually the one who convinced Ivy to get her ears pierced. I convinced Julie to follow her dream and open Gladrags, I convince many people and over half the time they listen to what I have to say, and it all works out. But, enough about me, lets talk about some other people! See you later!!!!! 

Felicity!!!!

Hi, It is me, Felicity Merriman! I have a dad, a mom, a little sister Nan, a little sister Polly, and a little brother William! I live with my friends on American Girl Farms. My hobbies are: talking with friends, riding horses, learning about horses, competing in races with horses, teaching trikes to horses, camping, writing, drawing, picking apples, making apple cakes, giving sewing lessons, getting advanced beading lessons from Gladrags, and eating candy dipped in chocolate fondue! Horses are a very big part of my life. I have been riding since I was three, and I plan to never stop. I teach my friends, and in return they will teach me something. Right now I am getting surfing lessons from Kanani. You need balance for surfing and you need balance for riding, so it comes a little natural to me, even though I have fallen off some times. I have mainly learned that no one can be perfect at surfing when they first start. You see, I thought that I was going to get right out there and start riding in waves, I didn't know that it took energy and skill to just stand on a board. I was ready to quit when at the first lesson, we didn't even fully get into the water. But the next lesson, I began to get it, and now, I am trying to learn how to surf in the pond behind the farms. So far, I have ruined my dress three times. My mother may soon put a stop to it, sadly. But that is all I have to say for right now, so enjoy riding your horse, and I'll catch you later!

Lanie!!!!

Hi, it is me Lanie Holland!!! I live on American Girl Farms with my seven friends, their families, and my family. I have a mom, a dad, an older sister Angela, and a younger sister. My hobbies are: planting veggies and other crops, learning about birds, hanging out with my bunny Lulu, taking my friends on nature hikes around the farm, using Kit's camera to take pictures of cute wild life, eating pizza, camping, listening to Kit's stories, playing basketball, playing tag, playing four square, also I like being in the jumping rope contests at school, eating at the Happy Panda, walking around town, going to water parks, surfing, collecting shells, listening to bird calls on my bird radio, catching butterflies, riding horses, and playing pranks! Yes, I do love playing pranks, in fact I played a good one on Kit last week, even though she got scared. But yes, I love horseback riding. Some people say that you can get hurt, but my friends horse back ride and I have never gotten hurt. People sometimes call me a brave girl, since I love anything that sounds super scary and fun. Ever try going on the thrill roller coaster that has made all your friends sick? Well, I am not like Ivy's older brother Andrew, I actually know when something sounds just downright dangerous, or when it sounds scary, fun, and pretty safe. But I am not just brave because I go on all these roller coasters, I am brave because I go on long three day nature hikes on undiscovered trails. Of course I go with a parent or Kit's older brother Charlie, since he is already eighteen. I am mainly just a nature girl and I could go into long detail about all my adventures. I have lots of scrapbooks made by Elizabeth, of my nature hiking. It is super fun and so exciting. But I also really like to discover nature in my schoolyard. Instead of playing four square or tag every time I go to recess, sometimes I take a break and go nature hiking in the bushes. One time I found a whole place where rabbits slept. I would have discovered more but my older sister Angela was yelling at me since it was time to get a move on to the buses.:( But I still looked the next day. Luckily, I am friends with all the girls that live in my farm, so I felt completely okay with taking Kit's camera, because I knew that she trusted it with me. Just don't tell her that I almost dropped it on the pond behind the school while I was taking a picture of some baby fish swimming in a school. I thought it was funny since the fish were in a school and I was in a school! Some of the kids at my school didn't really get it, but Kit thought it was cute. I even wrote a little caption saying that, underneath the picture of them in the scrapbook. It is so much fun to look at baby animals, but it is also a super fun time when I play with my friends! Bye For Now!!!!

Kit!!!!!!

Hi, It is me Kit Kittredge! Actually, my name is Margret Mildred Kittredge, but I prefer Kit. If you say my last name and my nickname, it sounds good! I have a dad, a mom, and an older brother Charlie. Also I have a dog named Grace, but she is sort of like the family dog. I live with my family, my seven friends, and their families. Good thing we live on a big farm! My hobbies are: riding my scooter, sewing, planning parties, typing on my type writer, painting, hanging out in my tree house, camping, eating marshmallows, roasting marshmallows, eating at the Happy Panda (Ivy's grandparents' restaurant!), playing four square, jumping rope, playing flute, sleeping, going to school, reading, dreaming, learning to ride horses, helping, walking, playing with dogs and other furry friends, and of course, writing!!!!! I have been doing journal classes since first grade, and I never plan to stop. It teaches me to be better at writing, and it really lets me tell my story and others' stories. I love crowding around with my friends discussing my latest newspaper, or talking about things they want added to the newspaper! I also do play an instrument, the flute. It is hard, Felicity is so much better at it, but I still try. I know that when you read my hobbies list, I put going to school on there. Well, I can't lie, I just love going to school. I even have signed up for extra classes, my schedule is always busy. I do math, science, reading, writing, grammar, social studies, geography, and history. If you talk to me about Laura Ingalls or another pioneer, be prepared to sit there for a while as I talk about her and the amazing things she did. Yes, Ivy thinks this is crazy, since she cannot stand history, but of course she would never be mean about it! I love telling stories, though don't tell me a scary story, I get scared very easily!!!! Well, I better get on to interviewing all the other girls, so here we go!

Ivy!!!

Hi, I'm Ivy Ling and I live at American Girl Farms with my seven friends. I have a dad, a mom,

an older brother, and a little sister Missy. I just got my ears pierced and I am in the fifth grade. All my other friends are only in the fourth grade, but we never think of me as being the older one. I was Julie's first friend when we all met during preschool. My hobbies are: going to the beach with Kanani, selling shaved ice, playing the violin, learning to ride a horse, helping Julie, her older sister Tracy, and their mom at Gladrags, and baking great apple pies. But really, my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year. I can't wait for our big celebration! Oh yeah, I also really love going camping and reading. My friends say I am good at writing in Chinese calligraphy, playing the vionlin, and eating.:) I am a sort of smart student, though I have never gotten any straight As' like Kit has. Math is my best subject. If you ask me what my least favorite part of my weekend is, I would say Saturday Morning Chinese school. 

I love baking and everyone calls me "Kitchen Queen." I actually work at my grandparents' restaurant the Happy Panda. I only work there on week days since it is too far from where American Girl Farms is. The good thing is, that it is right next to my school. This means that I can treat my friends to some great Chinese Food, instead of gross cafeteria food! The only problem is, that I can only treat one friend a week.:( Well, Kit my reporter is telling me that is enough talking and that she already has my life story, so I guess I'll stop there. Check back for more about me!!!!!!
