Days two and three

Yesterday was the Miss Ohio fashion show, and all of the contestants had such a fun time modeling the wardrobe we picked out! It was fun being fierce on the runway and signing the state. After that we had another autograph signing with some of the crowd. The rest of the day consisted of learning the rest of our production numbers and trying not to kill each other with the umbrellas. Unfortunately Meggie lost a contact by getting attacked by her own umbrella lol, and there were many broken ones by the end of the night. Thankfully mine has survived so far, but hopefully it'll make it until the end of the show. Since we were doing so well we were allowed to go home early which was FANTASTIC. We got back around 8 and had an amazing dinner with our host family and chaperon. Then we did our Jillian workout again, rehearsed our talents, and talked current events with our host dad for over an hour. It was such a fun evening, and to top it off we got to sleep in today!!
This morning started off with brunch at Applebees. Alyssa and I were the last girls there and they had run out of room at the big booth with all of the other girls. We started our own table and ended up spending the meal chatting with Miss Ohio, Miss Ohio's Outstanding Teen, and the photographer. It was an awesome time, and the food was delicious. :) After some more photos and an autograph session with the girlscouts we started lining up for the Miss Ohio parade. My driver is a member of the capital city corvette club and drove up from Columbus to drive me. He was so sweet, and I was so blessed by it. It was a gorgeous little red corvette. I absolutely LOVE parades, and I had a blast getting to see the people of Mansfield from such a great view. My host mom Sue actually drove her cute little convertible for Miss Vacationland and took a ton of great pictures. After the parade we went to the Elks for lunch and had a good time with each other, our host moms, and chaperons. The rest of the night was polishing routines and figuring out where we move on different nights. Once again we got out early and were back by 7:30. This is a nice change from Miss Delaware last night were we were there from 7 to 11 almost every day. This evening I've just been going through pictures with my host family and relaxing. We've got an early day tomorrow and a lot of rehearsing to do. Hopefully my feet will last me until the end of next week!
Until tomorrow <3
