Nationals - Day 4
Turkey Day!! Happy Thanksgiving.
The morning started with the modeling and speech competitions. Brittany was just doing the speech competition this morning. When we showed up at the starting time for her speech competition, the modeling was still going on...it ran a little long. When speech finally started I was surprised to find out that Brittany was contestant number one.
She did a wonderful job, even though she must have been nervous being the first contestant to go on stage. When she was finished she joined me in the audience and watched the rest of the contestants. All of the girls did such an amazing job, all I can say is I'm glad I didn't have to judge the competition.
We decided to spend the rest of our Thanksgiving Day at Animal Kingdom. It was weird not being at home cooking a turkey dinner.
When we walked towards the park we were greeted by a huge Christmas tree. It reminded me that my tree at home was still in a box waiting to be set up when we got home.
I was surprised how crowded the park was that day. As soon as we arrived we headed to Kilimanjaro Safaris for fastpasses. To our amazement the fastpasses were gone and the wait was 90 minutes. Since we didn't have a lot of time in the park we decided not to wait in line for that long. Instead we walked through the animal exhibit. The closest we came to Expedition Everest was looking at the Mountain. That ride was out of fastpasses as well, and had an extremely long wait too.
Brittany did have a fun time playing the carnival games in the Dino World area. She even won a new friend. Unfortunately our day at Animal Kingdom came to an end all too soon. We had to go back to the hotel for another production number rehearsal which started at 6:30.
We got back in time to see our roommates head out for Thanksgiving Dinner.
After Brittany's rehearsal we ordered room service for dinner. We decided not to attend the pageant Thanksgiving dinner, because we were worried about Brittany missing her dad and brother too much. We had a true Thanksgiving dinner the weekend after we returned home from Nationals.
