There are quite a few pictures in this post--but these are only a few! Scott and I both have new cameras and so between the two of us taking pictures, we have tons of pictures! So, if you want to see our trip through the pictures I have posted, here you go:
Here are some of the team waiting in the airport for our flight to depart:
Day 1: Performance at Universal Orlando. This year, the team is performing on a different stage. Much larger, so I'm excited that our routines won't look so squished--but the stage is cement! It was a little bit rough and made the headstands interesting! But, they did them and had a fabulous performance!
Day 2: Workshop at Disney World at Epcot. Here we are at the main entrance, ready to meet the Disney Workshop Coordinator.
After the workshop, the girls didn't want to have to carry their stuff around all day, so we were all going to walk out to the vans to put their stuff in them. Well, Scott, being the nice guy that he is, offered to carry all of the bags out to the van. Here he is with all of their stuff! I helped him carry it most of the way, but then he insisted that he take them the rest of the way and I could wait inside Epcot for him.
So, he continued out to the parking lot. I guess he got a little bit disoriented and he couldn't find the van. I called him to see what was taking so long and I could tell he was frustrated. So, I headed out to find him. I found the vans, mainly by pointing the remote in the direction of where I thought they were parked and found them.
A Disney parking security person on a bike saw me and asked if I was looking for a guy with a lot of bags. I said yes, and he was a few rows over. He was on his way over to where the vans were.
We put the bags into the van and headed back into the park. Scott needed a drink and we both were hungry so we had lunch. Then, one of the girls had left her pass in her bag that was in the van. Well, what do you think we did, we walked back out to the van so she could get her pass.
Finally, we decided to take our "World Tour" again at Epcot. We walked around to each country and took a picture. So here they are:
Day 3: We headed to Cocoa Beach. Once again, it wasn't the best weather for the beach, but what do you do! Here is the team "jumping for joy" that they are at the beach!
Day 4: Performance at Downtown Disney. This is the sign that listed all of the performances for the day. My team is listed, and just in case you can't see it, we have a close up shot too!
There performance at Disney was really good. The stage is really nice. It is only two years old and it has a nice surface and is a good size. Here are some pictures from the performance:
After the performance, we headed to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner, provided by the school. It was a fun time. Our principal, Mr. Penrod, also included appetizers and got some extra "volcano" desserts for each table to share. We are so lucky to have such a supportive principal!
Later, most of the team headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Here we are at the entrance:
Day 5: One last day at Disney World. Our van groups wanted to go out to the Hard Rock Cafe for lunch, so here we are at the Hard Rock:
Day 6: We checked out of our hotel and had a few hours to kill, so we headed to Downtown Disney and did some last minute shopping before heading to the airport. Here are the girls trying to get some sun before we go home:
I hope the team had a great trip! They have worked so hard this year and accomplished so much, especially for a first-year team! This trip was a great way to finish their year. Next up, tryouts!
