Day 3
















Today was the most exciting day yet! We first started off with a radio interview at 7:45 in the morning which would be 6:45 in Kansas. Then we had a quick breakfast and after that the award ceremony began. They lined up all the international kids then the united states. Mary Lou Retton 1984 gold medal gymnast in the Olympics talked about what she did and how she became with Children's Miracle Network. Then one by one they brought out the kids. This was very exciting. When they called Weston Funk from Kansas I trotted out and gladly accepted the gold medal they gave me. It was cool that different countries had different straps for the medals. After the ceremony I talked to a few kids and just hung out. We went back to the room and relaxed for a while. Next we went to Magic Kingdom, and then we headed to Planet Hollywood to eat dinner. We came back and we were all tired but this was the most fun day so far.

The pictures of me are with Mary Lou Retton, Steve Young,and some of my new friends.
