This is a Game that Never Ends...


Ok so maybe I'm just not the destroying the world type, but I don't see the point of the game Risk. My dad and my brother have been at it for the past three days, and it's getting a bit old...ok REALLY old! I understand that it's just a game, but at the same time, it's a tedious game where you try to dominate the world. What happened to the idea of world peace? Now we play a game where a single person dominates everyone? ...seems kinda pointless and contradictory to me. Call me crazy, but I wanna see my brother and dad come out of the basement soon...and preferably before one of them rules over the entire world!

The Most Magical Place on Earth

A few weeks ago, I traveled to Disney World in Orlando, Florida with 2 of the GBN choirs. I had a blast, and the 5 days we were there were jam-packed with a bunch of activities ranging from going to a Disney lou-au to dining on the third floor of Planet Hollywood. During the day we had free time to go to any park we wanted, and at night we usually had an activity with the entire group. On the Sunday we were there, we even got to go to Sea World where I touched my first dolphin :) That was an experience I'll never forget, and it all happened in Orlando! The group of girls I walked around with made it to all the parks in Disney including Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM, and finally Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom is, by far, the most magical of all the parks! Even just walking through the gates into the long streets of Disney makes you feel like you've entered into a whole new world where sadness is impossible. I was blown away by the intricate detail in every single building and table and ride at Disney. So much work goes into making it the happiest and most magical place on earth, and it definitely pays off. In the entire 5 days I was there, I only saw one child crying! And keep in mind, there are A LOT of kids at Disney! I had such a fun time there, and I'll never forget all the magic that was showered upon me when I first stepped into the happiest place on earth! :D
