Thoughts of a Dumb Blonde

     Disney is one of my favorite things and their parks in Orlando have been a big part of my life. I've been going to Walt Disney World Resort since I was about three years old. When I was little I loved going there and getting to meet all of the characters and get their autographs. I have books full of signatures and pictures. The characters are one of the biggest appeals for kids because the get to see their favorite characters go from the screen to real life. Another big aspect for both adults and young children are Disney's unbeatable parades. They feature huge themed floats topped with popular characters along with characters and dancers who walk/dance the entire route while doing fluent routines. The best part for the kids is when their favorite characters take the time to wave at them or give them a high five as they walk by. The actual rides are the perfect way for all guests to become a part of the worlds of their favorite characters. With each ride followin...

     I’m on an airplane on my way to Orlando, Florida! My family takes a vacation to there every year. This will be my twelfth time going there since I was born. Orlando is one of my favorite places to go. I have family that lives about a half an hour outside the city. I’m staying with them one night this year. We’re staying in a hotel really close to Universal Orlando Resort; we’ve stayed there multiple times. We’re going to Universal, Volcano Bay, Animal Kingdom, and Disney World. We go swimming at our hotel and go out to dinner every night. I’m so excited for this trip. Right now I just can’t wait to get off of this plane.

     This past weekend was very eventful for me. Friday night I cheered at my last high school football game of the year. I rode the bus home with my squad and we stopped to get food at Sheetz. I got home late and went to bed. The next morning, my cousins brought their babies over so I got to spend time with them. After they left I started getting ready for my gymnastics meet. I competed at 6:00 p.m. I got first all-around with a score if 35.75 out of 40 on the 4 events. I got a snow globe for placing first. I was excited because I had been trying to get a snow globe at that meet since I was ten. After my meet, my mom, dad, and I went out to eat at Kings. Sunday morning, my mom and I went shopping with my cousin and her baby girl. After we got back, my mom and I met my cousins to go to a haunted house at an old amusement park. My cousins like to pick on me, so I had to lead our group through the different sections of the haunted house. The very last section of the haunted...

        Today I wanted to share one of my favorite videos. It’s not a really complicated video and it’s not conventionally funny. I love dogs and I think pugs are adorable. And this pug jusping around not being able to run is cute and laughable. I’ve had a really long day and I wanted to share something that might help lighten up anyone else’s mood that might have had a long day too. I hope you enjoy it. Warning : this video may offend some people. The language is changed to be family friendly put still may resemble language some people may not be comfortable with. 

Yesterday was the first meet of the 2017/18 gymnastics competition season. We always starts off the season with a tri-meet (a meet where three teams compete at the same time) at our local YMCA. This year I had to be there at 8:00 a.m. to warm up. The first session was for levels 4 and up. We started competing around 8:30 a.m. and did not start awards until about 1:00 pm. My team started competing at vault. There I got first place with a score of 9.1 out of a possible 10. We then moved to bars where I got second with a score of 8.4. Next we went to beam, which is my personal favorite. Here, I got another 9.1 and received first place. Finally we competed at floor and I did my round off back tuck for the first time during a meet. I missed my connection on my front pass so I started at a 9.5 start value. Because of this I got a 7.8 and received second place. For All-Around (a combination of all four scores) I got a 34.4. I got first place all around and I qualified to compete at nationals....
