The next day was the first day of competition and my Chapter Service girls were scheduled to compete that day. Since her daughter was competing, Shona (one of our chaperones) volunteered to take the girls to do that. Mama and our other chaperone, Paula, were also occupied that day judging. Each school has to provide 1 judge for every 3 kids you bring so I was SUPER grateful that they were suckered into so willingly volunteered! I’m not a good judge. I am totally a Simon.
While everyone of competing and judging, I took the rest of the kids to Knotts Berry Farm (yea, like the jelly). It’s actually not a farm—it’s an amusement park quite similar to Six Flags. The kids had a great time and so did I! The best ride of the day was definitely The Accelerator. So much fun! The girls that competed caught up with us after they got finished and still got a few rides in before we had to head back to change for the opening session.
Opening session was crazy! 3,000 middle and high schoolers piled into this huge arena. It felt like we were there for a concert! It was a great session full of skits and a fantastic keynote speaker, Chef Jeff from the Chef Jeff Project on Food Network! His story is a great one of overcoming circumstances and poor decisions. After the session we went to our State Meeting and then hit our beds!
