A Fun Family Trip to St. George

A little while ago, my family went to St. George for my clogging competition.  It was a lot of fun.  This is the story.  So, first, my dad came and got me and my brothers out of school.  Then, we began our trip.  It was a LONG drive.  It seemed like it took FOREVER!!!  But, I did like watching as red rock would appear more and more.  Anyway, we FINALLY got to our hotel.  I got my costume and makeup on.  Then we went straight to the competition.  I was going to do four solos and one team dance.  I was very nervous and excited when I got there.  So, we got into our lines to go onstage.  I did my solos first.  Then, we went to lunch.  I think we went to Wendy's, but I'm not sure.  Then, we went back to the competition.  I checked my scores.  This is what I got: Line: 1st, Show: 1st, Percussion: 1st, Traditional: 1st!  I was SO excited!  Then, we went back to the hotel.  I relaxed for a little bit.   Then, we went swimming in the hotel's pool.  It was awesome!  We were staying at the Lexington Hotel and they had an awesome pool that was half inside and half outside.  We swam for a long time.  Then went back to the hotel room and went to sleep.  I was SO tired.  I slept like a rock.  The next day, we  went lizard hunting.  My dad drove us to a really rocky area.  He said it was perfect for catching lizards.  He was right.  We ended up catching a lizard.  We named him Max.  He was so cute.  We took really good care of him.  But, my mom didn't approve.  We were mad.  She said before we left to go home, we would have to let him free. :(  But, we cheered ourselves up by going to see a movie.  We went to see The Lorax.  It was really good.  Then, we went home and went to sleep.  The next day, we had to leave. :(  We were so sad because that meant we had to let Max go.  So we let him go outside of the hotel.  But, we caught two more lizards on the way home when we stopped.  Then, we went home.  It felt so good to be home.

P.S.  We got to miss school on Friday because of the trip.  Huh, Kassee?
