We flew into Orlando, FL this morning and arrived to scorching hot Central Florida weather. It was exactly what we were hoping for after a week of miserable weather in Wisconsin. I don't feel bad telling my fellow Wisconsinites that it's actually border-line too warm here. We're in Kissimmee (an Orlando suburb) in the name of wrestling, but we plan on taking full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a few attractions Orlando has to offer.
Tomorrow evening, our girls weigh-in and they'll compete all day on Saturday. That gives us all of Sunday to enjoy Disney, Universal Studios or Sea World (or all three). We haven't decided exactly what we're going to do. We may just end up sitting poolside at the Holiday Inn enjoying the sun.
The Body Bar Nationals are the USA Wrestling FILA Cadet and FILA Junior National Championships. They also serve as a qualifier for the Junior World Team and Junior Pan Am Team. Last year, Emily (Harper) finished 3rd and was able to compete in Guadalarja, Mexico at the Junior Pan Am Championships. We're hoping and expecting the same from her this year. I'll also be leading the NYAC contigiency which includes Victoria Anthony, Helen Maroulis, Veronica Carlson and Amy Whitbeck. Vicki and Helen are coming to Victory in River Falls to before the World Team Trials after this event.
Our day started very early this morning. Since our flight was scheduled for a 7:00am departure from Minneapolis, we had to leave our house at 5:00am. That's usually a fairly easy task, except Liz and Isaiah made a late decision to join us on this trip, so it required a little more planning. It still went very smoothly. Isaiah had no interest in sleeping on the plane, though. Once the plane touched the ground, he fell asleep across our laps. It provided him enough rest to be wild and crazy all day. It was fun.
