My life as a Special Olympican of Missouri: Special Olympics Missouri indoor games 2017

This past weekend I went to Ft Lenardwood, MO. We left on Thursday afternoon and didn't get there until that evening.I was the DJ for the Van I was riding in. For dinner we ate at Colton's. They did very well of serving us for having a big party (group of people) Eceryone were tired we got to the base. Had to wake up early on Friday for bowling. Breakfast was really good. I was very excited, my brother was too! I got fourth place and my brother got 2nd place. Around lunch time we had lunch, the lunch was really good. After everyone was done, we got all of our stuff together and went to the Victory Village (Games) the new thing that was there was dodge ball, now that was fun! Haven't played that since was in high school. I didn't do very well, but it was fun. After awhile, we went back to the base and got ready for dinner and the open ceremony. I was in the open ceremony with another athlete in our (LS) group. My dad and my brother left after lunch. Before the open ceremony ended, the army music band played some music for us, that was fun, a lot of people danced. After that we went back to the base and got ready for basketball. YAY basketball. Had to wake up early again for basketball, but it was worth it! The LS Legends (My team) got to watch all the LS teams to play, I love that part, to support our other teams. They did very well! After our two games, we took home a SILVER (2nd place), the LS Warriors took a GOLD and the LS Shooters did too. After all of that excitement we went back to the base to freshen up and just have some down time before dinner. After everyone freshen up some of us went on a walk, which was very relaxing and fun! We all joked around and enjoy everyone's company. That was my 2nd favorite part of the trip. After we ate dinner we went to the dance/bingo. That was very fun, a lot of people were there, which is good! Everyone had fun!! The DJ played some great songs. I saw some other friends, which I enjoy. I was tired at the end of the dance. And my coach wanted me to take a pic with a solider, so that was a little excited. On Sunday morning we slept in a little bit, got up and ate breakfast and on our way home. On the way home mostly everyone slept. Once we got to LS, I said my goodbyes, was happy to be able to sleep in my own bed but also sadden because I had so much fun, didn't want to leave, but track and field has started, so I'm excited for that. The best part of the trip was for the whole LS teams to watch the LS Shooters compete. and of course spending time with friends and just have fun. The worst part is this is the last time to go to Ft. Lenoardwood for state. I wonder where the next indoor games will be. I got a whole year to look forward to that. Below is some pic from this past weekend! I really got to say thank you to my loving and supportive parents to take me to all of the practices and the tournaments. And my coachs, they are very awesome!! Coun't ask for better coaches!
