Surprised

OMG guys I went down to Pegram where my aunt lives and slept over on Tuesday, the third. My friend Gracie came with me and slept over too. The next day we got up at 6:30 and went to the pancake breakfast held at the church down the street and I am not kidding we never used the car to go any where we walked. The pancake breakfast was great they make 3 pancakes per person, but I ate like 1 1/2 (one and a half). After the breakfast we walked back to the house. We had to get ready to GO ON THE FLOAT IN THE PARADE!!!!!!! The parade started at 9:00 so we had some time before the parade. Gracie and I helped my dad take the float down to the parking for the parade to start. When the parade did start Gracie, my cousin Noah, me, my aunt, my cousin, my uncle, and my other cousin, all got on the float. We only had three bags of candy so we ran out fast. It was hot out there, but my aunt had brought a cooler FULL of water i have like three bottles and one and a half of them I dumped on my self wich felt amazingly good and the rest I drank. Then we went to the house (my aunts house) and cooled off abit the me and Gracie found out about a hula hooping contest right across the street in the park and of couse we signed up. We went down there a 2:30 and the contest satrted. Most of the girls dropped it at first but I stayed in and Gracie lost I was sooooo sad but it made me feel alot better we she and my mom started cheering me on. It was me and another nice girl and in the end I WON! I was sooo happy I congradulated the other girl I went against and she wasn't rude about she even said I was really really good at hula hooping I told her she did good to and I gave her a high five. The me and Gracie had to run back to the house because we were in the Beauty Pageant a 3:00! When we got to the house all the doors were locked! We were freaking out, but we banged on the door until finaly my cousin Hannah opened the door. Thank God she did we ran as fast as we could and got ready I had to rush down to the park while Gracie got her makeup done well I didn't want to leave her so I ran back to the house and Gracie had just left! Well I put on some lipstick and asked Hannah where Gracie went and turned out she had just left like two senconds ago. I was running down the street to get to the park when I got there there was Gracie standing next to my mom. I was like um.....hello? I didn't even see her walking down the street I was like whatever. We had to wait until like 4:00 until we went up on stage. Me and Gracie were like flipping out we were soooo nervous. I was number 5 in the contest and when they called my number I walked up on to the stage and I had to stad in the middle of the stage. So I went to the middle of the stage and waved to the judges. Then I went back to the line on stage, we had to dance around and walk around in a circle and dance. There were 25 girls in that age group! So half of the girls went on stage while the others wait and while we danced. And when the time had come I was so scared and the aunouncer said, "In 3rd place came," (I cant remember) "and the runner up for 1st place is a high honor so if the first place winner can't take the crown the 1st place runner up will have to and the 1st place runner up is number 6 Jenna Taylor!" AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY FREAKING COW!!!!! I was smiling on the outside and screaming on the inside! I was so happy, and turns out the girl who won was ugly her outfit wasnt even 4th of Julyish! But my mom said she looked over one of the judges shoulders when they were judging and she jotted my name down. That was really toughing I smiled at that judge when I was walking buy. Anyway it was an amazing 4th of July!
