Disney World




I've done it all now. I had to become Miss Rodeo Utah so I could finally have a chance to see the ocean and go to Disney World. It was so awesome! We made a lifetime friendship with the Lewis Family, whose daughter Mallory competed at the Special Kids Rodeo earlier in the day. Mallory's parents Denise and Larry both work at Disney World and made it possible for 13 of us to go to the park for a couple hours after the rodeo. We had a "Fast Pass" to let us go to the front of the line everywhere we went and we were able to go on 5 rides in about 2 hours. It was so cool. Its amazing; the opportunities that I've been given this year. Its more than I could ever ask for. This week was the funnest experience I've had in a long time, maybe ever. I've made some of the best friends I will ever have and I laughed so hard at times that my stomach hurt. I felt like a little kid again as 14 girls ran through the park with our big hair, wranglers, cowboy boots, and big smiles on our faces. So many times throughout the night girls would look at each other and say "this is amazing, this doesn't happen in the real world, and there still are amazing people out there" and the Lewis Family is an example of those nice, incredible people that do nice things for complete strangers just because they are good people. Thank you so much. You've definitely made an impact in my life with this one night that I will remember forever.


Special Rodeo & Sunday Performance




Today was the special kids rodeo with the rodeo performance immediately after, so the kids kind of felt like they were an opening act or part of the actual competition and they were all invited to stay for the rodeo. I was able to carry my Utah Sate Flag during every rodeo performance on the horse Pistol that was provided for me. He was great!
