TEXAS!!!

I'm going to separate the Texas trip so that it makes more sense!!
Oh and if you don't have a lot of time you might want to read this later! Hehe.

Saturday


While we (meaning Khyla, Kim, Mommy, Lena, Colleen, and me) were waiting to board our flight to Denver me, Khy, and Kim played war and normally it doesn't take very long, but this game took almost 45 minutes!! It was crazy! After the game was finished it was time to get on the plane. I sat next to Khyla and Kim while the adults sat across from us. It was lots of fun to sit in the plane and play games and laugh with my friends. When we got to the airport we had a three hour overlay, but it ended up being a two hour overlay cause since it was snowing in Salt Lake we left there almost an hour late! Anyway we got lunch and then after we had all eaten me, Khy, and Kim played Apples to Apples. Here is a picture of Khyla and Kim while we were playing!




Isn't that soooo cute!!!

The plane ride was fun cause this time we had an extra hour to do things! We played a bunch of games and I read my book for a little while and when we had about a half hour left of the trip me and Khy started looking out the window and I took a bunch of pictures of the clouds so here they are!

















We were going through a cloud when I took this so that's why it looks all foggy.









We're in Texas!!!...





And we're bored too!

When we got to the Rental car place and picked which car we wanted me and Mommy followed Lena as far as we could then we had to find our way to the hotel that we were staying at. When we got there we went and found Jackie and her mom Marianne who were rooming with us. They gave us a room key and we went up to our room and put our stuff in there so that we didn't have to haul it around anymore. We then went and said hi to Sadie and Taylor who were down the hall from us. There moms told us to go over to the mall and get something to eat over there so we did and it ended up that everything was closing at the mall so the only thing that we could eat was drinks from Sonic so we left and went and found this Pizza place that was still open and ordered a pizza and brought it over to the hotel. After we were done with our pizza we were really tired so we went to bed.


Sunday (a.k.a Competition day)


After I woke up and had a shower and got dressed me, Mommy, and Jackie went down to breakfast and ate. The food was really good and part way through Micaela and Paiger came down and Kendall and Kenzie came down a little while later. Taylor and Sadie came down when we were almost done, but I still got to say hi and stuff. And Polina was there too! It was good to see her again. It ended up that her mom (Katia) was just a couple of rooms down from us!

When we got back to the room mommy did my hair for the meet and then I still had a little while before we had to go down to my meet. I was looking out the window and saw this:





Seriously who would name a field 'Dr. Pepper field'?!?! That's just crazy!

I then realized that I had forgotten to bring a little bag to put all of my stuff in when I went down to the meet! And I didn't really want to just carry around all of my stuff so me and Mommy went down to the meet and tried to find a bag. We also looked at leos while we were there and ended up getting me two very cute leos! I got a bag that is just the right size and so I think I'm gonna use that for all of my competitions from now on cause the other bag is just waaaaaaaay to big.

Katia came in and said hi to us before the meet and she said that she really wanted to stay, but her flight was leaving soon so she had to go. But I was really happy that I got to see her!

The meet was really good. I got a 9.275 on Beam!! Can you believe that! 9.275! I was so excited! On Floor I got a 9.125! I think that the judges on Beam and Floor were scoring kind of high. I stuck my first Vault, but fell on my second one and got a 8.775. Ilia didn't seem too happy about my Vault, but I thought it was pretty good and it was a good score so whatever. My Bars on the other hand was not good my free hip was so low I don't think it even counted as a free hip! I got an 8.00. I was think that I would place on at least Beam maybe Floor too, but nope! It was really really hard to place cause the only one our team that placed was Hannah! See this is proof that you had to get really really really high scores cause Hope got a 9.6 on Floor and she didn't place! Ya I know. And one girl got a 10.00 on Bars and another got a 10.00 on Beam. Oh well. It was a good meet anyway!







Here's me and Kayla.


After the meet Mommy, Ilia, Ruth, Sadie, and I went over to the mall cause we were going to go skating, but it ended up that there was hockey game going on so we were gonna go to the Cheesecake Factory, but then we decided to go to a place called Dave and Buster's where the whole down stairs area is an arcade with a restaurant in it! So we ate there and Ruth and Mommy gave me and Sadie some money and we went and bought a power card for each of us and one for Ilia so that we could go and play some games!! It was lots of fun!!! Me and Sadie used up 48 chips on our cards pretty fast then we got one card that had 100 on it and then we ended up getting another 100 chip one too! Ilia's card had 60 on it, but he didn't want the tickets all he wanted was to play the games! So in the ended me and Sad got 2,284 tickets!! We couldn't decided what we wanted so Ruth came and helped us and she said for us to get matching tank tops so we were going to then we decided to get five teddy bears for each of the girls in our class, but then Sadie said she would rather have a matching shirt with me! So we got the shirts!

After we left Dave and Buster's we were going back to the car and the adults took us out the completely wrong door and we had to walk (or in me and Sadie's case run) around 3/4 of the mall!!! Me and Sadie were thinking that since they were going so slow and the car was so far away we could walk back to the hotel before they got there!!! But the adults wouldn't let us. So we just kept running around the mall (outside) to get to it and every corner we would be like this should be it...nope not this one maybe the next...nope and it just kept going like that for a while. Then finally we got to the car!

When we got back to the car me and Sadie went up to our rooms and we got into our swim suits and went down to the pool. When we got down to the pool Kendall and Kenzy were there so we playing with them and did a lot of chicken fights! It was looooooooooots of fun! My mom got some pictures, but she hasn't uploaded them yet so when she does I'll put them up! When we got back to the room this is what my hair looked like when I took it out!







Monday


Mommy woke me up at 6:30. It was not fun. I finished packing and got dressed then we went down to breakfast. Again the breakfast was really good, but this time there wasn't anyone there! But that was probably because it was 7:00 in the morning. Anyway after we had breakfast we went up to our room and got our things and went on our way. I think that I fell asleep for a little while in the car, but I'm not sure. Once we got to the airport we dropped off the rental car and went to security. And surprisingly we were the first ones there, out of our friends at least. When Khyla and Kim got there Mommy gave me some money and I went with Lena and Khyla and got a snack and when we were almost back I saw someone that looked familiar over by where we were boarding and when I ran over it ended up that I was right it was KENDALL! How cool is that! So Kendall, Micaela, and Kenzy were all on the same flight as us!


When we landed in Denver I only had just enough time to run to the bathroom before we boarded the plane to Salt Lake.




I read my book for most of the plane trip home!! And guess what I almost finished it!!





And now here are some pictures I took on the flight on the way home.





Mommy and I. Sorry It's kind of blurry the plain was getting closer to the ground and it was kind of bumpy.





ME!! Don't I look happy to be home!!


Texas was fun, but I'm very happy to be home.

And to end this trip here is a picture of me and the two girls that I don't know what I would do without them in my life, Sadie and Kendall.




FRIENDS FOREVER!!!
