trip to orlando


On Wednesday morning we left Ali's house at 9:00 to pick Olivia up at West Palm beach at the Marriott hotel that is across from the place where i go for my choir class on Mondays.

We then drove to Vero beach for the rope's course. We arrived at the place at 11:15 and met Keenan in the waiting room. We then went outside to the course an we first played a game where we stand in a circle and one person stands at the top and asks the group a question like "Who ever been in a chorus? and whoever has has to run to another spot in the circle and whoever is the slowest to get to a spot is the question asker. Then we played a game where the group has to stand on numbers in a circle in order from 1 to 25. Then we went back inside to have lunch. I had an egg salad sandwich. While we ate we talked about why we went to space of mind. After lunch we went back outside. The first obstacle after lunch was a balance beam was there is a moving loge and three wires connected to a pole and a box on the other side. The object of it was to cross the balance beam thing while holding hands. If a person fell down that person had a consequence and had to start from the beginning. I fell down a lot. After that we did a rock climbing obstacle where we could only place our feet in only two foot rests. Then some people went to do an obstacle where two people have to climb up poles (one on each opposite side) and then walk on a wire while holding a rope and they had to cross in the middle. When the ropes course was over we said goodbye to keenan and darby and made our way back on the way to Orlando.

We arrived at  the hotel at about 8pm. Ali went to go to Publix to get ingredients for the crepes we made for dinner which was at 11:00 pm. We then went to bed.

The next day we went to Universal Studios from 10:00 to 2:00. At 2:45 we left the park to go to Give the Kids the World. Give the Kids the World is an organization where terminal kids go with their family for a week to go to the fun amusement parks (Disney and Universal Studios). From 3 to 5 we decorated the place for Winter Wonderland. From 5 to 6 we had our dinner. Then from 6 to 9 the event took place. During the first part of the event Olivia and I went to read to kids. Then I went to show the kids the way to the jolly Santa Claus. From 8 to 9 I made snow cones and popcorn. After the event was over I cleaned the popcorn stand. We then left Give the Kids the World feeling all tired. When we got back Kaitlyn and Olivia gave me a wonderful makeover. After the makeover I was super tired so I went to bed right away.

The next day we woke up and packed all our stuff up and put it in the truck. Then we went to Islands of Adventure from 11 to 4:45. Then we went back on the road to go back home.
