Special Olympics Missouri Outdoor Games 9-28-18 to 9-30-18




9-28-18 (Thursday)
Jesse and I rode with our Lee’s Summit team. We drove to Jefferson City, our main coach picked up the packet for our team. The team who drove with us went on a tour at the TLC, so it was good to see the staff! For dinner we had pizza, it was thin crust, I kept thinking “this is the kind my moms likes”. Got into our rooms, and relaxed. It’s 9:46pm. And I’m already really tired. Tomorrow is when we all play bocce!! This will be my first time playing bocce at state. Last year I would of played but my family and I went on a cruise. I’m off to bed.
9-29-18 (Friday)
The alarm went off at 6:15am. It’s 7:06am. I’m eating breakfast with the team. We have bocce today, and opening ceremony later this evening. And the opening ceremony will be outside. It’s usually inside. But this year they changed it.


It’s 9:29 pm. I’m ready for bed! So today was a long but good day. I got gold in unified doubles and silver in singles. I was nervous when I competed. But I did pretty good. I did very well for my 1st time playing bocce at state. I also helped today with bocce by holding the paddle, Jesse got silver place in singles and got bronze for doubles. and that was fun! I was a little nervous with helping, but I got a handle of it. At the opening ceremonies, I helped by handing our plague to the sponsors, and that was fun! It was fun to see my other friends, that I haven’t seen in awhile, so that was fun, it’s time for bed, softball tomorrow! 





























 

9-29-18 (Saturday) woke up at 6:15am. Got ready for the day, ate breakfast. After breakfast we all got all of our stuff ready and went to the softball fields. It was a little chilly throughout the day. But the weather was perfect to play softball. Our both games was even matched. The first game score was 17 to 11 and the second game score was 11 to 8. The second game I took the one for the team. I stoped the softball with my leg (and got the bruise to show). The second game it took me awhile to get into the groove, in the second half I got better! Overall, we got GOLD!! We all were very excited! After we got fresh up, we went to the TLC to go to the healthy athletes, it was SO awesome too see so many athletes who went through. After that we went to dinner. Then the dance was next on the dance. The dance was at the backyard of TLC. Between the time of the dance, team MO 2018  had a little reunion. That was very nice! The whole team wasn’t there. We got a memory book, so that was SO cool to see and have and got autographs. And got to see a video (we were the first one to see it) I tried really hard not to cry. Lol. After all of that, another athlete (Allen Tobin who is on SOMO TV) interviewed Lynn and I, about our Health training at Washington DC! That was awesome! After that went back to the hotel with my parents and Jesse. Visited with the team and had snacks! I was SO tired when I got back. I only visited a couple of minutes then went back into the hotel room, packed up and went to bed. I was SO tired! I really liked the lunches. Everyone played SO well at softball. We all made great plays and hit the softball! Oh...and we had ice cream twice this weekend...shhh don’t tell no one! Lol
