I'm Late, I'm Late...for a Very Important Date

So, Disney was amazing. I promised Dad I'd do this post and I have been EXCITED to do this post, but I have been insanely busy.

Dad got it in his head he'd do the Dopey Challenge, reserved for dopes. Thursday he ran a 5k with TJ, what an awesome kid. Friday he ran a 10k, alone. Saturday he ran a half marathon with Lisa and GRANT ran a mile, what a killer. Finally Dan ran a full marathon on Sunday. He said to me after "the competitive spirit in me says I didn't race, I ran." Whatever that means Dad. Still crazy to me.

It was amazing to go back to Disney with my family after so long, I think the last time I had been before that was when Dad brought me to Hollywood studios when I was fifteen. We got there on Wednesday, it was raining and I was so excited I broke my phone while dancing at the Wide World of Sports complex waiting to get everyone checked in. We got settled into the rooms and used our magic bands for the first time. Two words: so cool. I'll try not to nerd out but from a business standpoint, allowing the customer to take their entire Disney trip and put it on a wristband to get into rooms, parks, fastness lines, buy food, gifts, anything, is brilliant. The ease of access must make them so much more money.

Anyway, Thursday we went to the magic kingdom and straight onto Peter Pan's flight. TJ and I buddied up for a lot of the trip and rode a lot of things together, Peter Pan's flight included. TJ and Grant went on splash mountain with me even though it was super cold and then we went to Casey's Corner. Dad and Lisa didn't see the thirty minute line they cut and I didn't point it out because I was hungry, whoops.

Friday we went to Epcot. Test Track is awesome. Grant might have ran on Friday because a few hours into Epcot everyone left me and TJ to our own devices. We went on Mission: MARS and came off feeling weird for a few minutes. 3/10 recommend. Spaceship earth though was one of THE coolest things. I never knew what the Epcot globe was, and definitely didn't think it was a ride. We got some food in Germany which I was infinitely thankful for. Im realizing now this is kind of disorganized, but I had the best time.

My favorite part was going to Animal Kingdom with TJ and Grant. They're such good kids and listened to me the entire time we were there. Grant went on Expedition Everest TWICE, so proud of him. He looks terrified in the pictures, but he had fun.

I love Disney. I love the time I had alone to walk around the Magic Kingdom at night, I am eternally grateful I was allowed to go off and explore on my own time. I can't wait to go back. 

First In Fitness

Do you know what First In Fitness is?

First In Fitness is a competition to see which school in Wake County is the best at 1 mile run, 100 yard dash, pull-ups, standing long jump, speed jump rope, shuttle run, and triathlon. The triathlon is only for 5th graders and I made it on the Fuquay Varina Elementary School team!

I have to do a mile run and pull-ups and shuttle run! Crazy, right?! The triathlon happens over one day.  At least I have people in my class and others to talk to right be for it starts. We are going to do it at North Raleigh High School. Last year I made it into the mile run and I got in 3rd place! WOW, right?! It is going to be so cool. My mom and dad might come and cheer for me.

I am so exited about First In Fitness because it really is a cool program for school it can be very competitive and fun and you meet new people from different schools that you could be come friends with that is why I love it so much. So if you live in Wake County  I hope you are in first in fitness so you can in joy it like me when you are older.
