A Trip to the Fair:

Yesterday was such an exciting day! Many of you may know that I absolutely love animals! Since this is true, my parents and I decided to go to the Florida State Fair. On the way over my mom and dad wanted to take me to a world famous place in Plant City to try their strawyberry shortcakes. It was good, but I must admit I would choose a home made strawberry shortcake over those any day! After this we headed on to the fair. Most of the time fairs are known for their spectacular fried food or rides, but while those are fun I love to see the animals! There were tons of goats and sheep, and there were also cattle, ducks, horses, dogs, kangaroos and a giraffe! It was great to see all of these neat critters, however I felt a bit sad for them because they were stuck in their cages and weren't free to roam as they should be. After looking at the animals my mom wanted to watch the Sea Lions show so we did. At first I have to admit I wasn't too excited, but Iwas surprised and it turned out to be fun!

Later that night I went to hang out with some friends I hadn't seen in a while! We ended up doing our normal routine of eating, getting ice-cream, and driving around. While this may not sound like a good time believe me, it is! After we did all of this we decided to go bowling--but I wasn't too stoked on the idea so I just decided to watch. It turned out to be pretty awesome since it was midnight bowling and cool music and lights were being displayed. I ended up not getting home until after 1:00 A.M which is why I didn't update last night--I was too tired!

This morning I woke up and attended church with my family which is always nice. Then we headed to lunch and home to relax. I didn't have as much time to relax and spend with them however because it was back to the 850 for me. The trip was long, as usual, but not too bad. Ashley W. and I decided to stop in Gainesville to get a cookie from Panera, which turns out to have 440 calories!! While the cookies were good, we could have done without. Ashley W. ended up getting a headache and I ended up getting a sugar rush then crashing!

All in all today and yesterday were good days and I am so excited for the rest of the week! Below are some pictures of the weekend so enjoy!
