In the summer I went to Florida for a lacrosse trip. It was
surrounded around Disney’s Wide World of Sports and it was so much fun. When I
first got to Florida, after my dad and I left the airport, we were so excited
that we couldn’t wait another second and decided to head straight for Universal
studios. It was my first time that I can remember being in Disney. My dad and
I, who are Harry Potter nerds, knew exactly where we were going. To Harry
Potter world of course! We went there and each had a glass of butter beer,
which is a drink in the movies. After we left we hit the hotel pool and I hung
out with the girls from lacrosse while my dad went off with the other dads. The
next morning we woke up and I had my first game in Florida. It was crazy. We
went to the ESPN Sports Center and it had restaurants, the nicest fields I have
ever seen and played on, everyone had special uniforms just for their Florida
team. It was so amazed and grateful to of had the privilege of being there. I
was one of the youngest kids on the team so I watched the older players closely
to pick up skills from them I had not yet attained. After a full day of winning
all our games we rushed back to our hotel, took a 15 minutes shower and a 20
minute nap and then went back to the pool. There was so much to do I couldn’t
wait. The team stayed their till about late 11 and we opened up the pool slide
even though we weren’t supposed to, and the parents and coaches were all in a
circle. Soon after, the kids joined in and we created “the circle of
death.” The coaches would announce in a
dramatic way who were the 2 victims to fight against each other in the pool.
Whoever dunked the other person first, won. It was so much fun. After that we
all went to bed and got up the next morning for another full day of games. The
same thing happened, the pool, the circle of death, all of that crazy stuff. My
friends Alice Cumpston, Karli Maguire, and Morgan Santiago stayed up till 1 in
the morning in the pool and doing tons of crazy and fun stuff. The next day was
our last day. We made it to the semifinals and sadly lost after being exhausted
from another days of full games. After that we went back to the hotel and my
friend, Morgan Santiago, came with my dad and I to Disney. We went on the
Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and thunder, mountain, Splash Mountain, and
Space Mountain, and many more. After being totally exhausted I went to bed
around 12:00 P.M. The next day was the day of our departure. Before going to
the airport my dad and I said bye to everyone and then stopped at Universal
Studios again to get our last glimpse of Harry Potter World. We had a lot of
fun and then we went back to the airport and we sadly left Florida. It was an
experience I will never forget and I hope I will have the opportunity to do it
again next summer.
