Early rise this morning but that's nothing new. Kaitlin, Kirsten, Chloe and I got to the fields a little early to watch the U17 So Cal United game. When we got there So Cal was up 1-0. The second half of the game started and within 10 mins. the score was now 2-0...the player megged the keeper to score. Final score 2-0 So Cal is headed off to the Championship. Now on to our game.

Game starts....we were down 2-0 but we would try to come back in the second half. Second half starts and we get some chances to score but never finished. With 10 minutes or more left they (OklahomaI) put another one in the net to make the final score 3-0. We were all disappointed but we are looking forward to Sunday's game to try to redeem ourselves...Tell you how the rest of our doay goes.

Off to Typhoon Lagoon water park..it was so refreshing. We went on a slide that goes straight down WWWWOOOOOWWWWW. Before we left we got tattoo's that mean "luck" in Chinese. Then we went back to the fields to watch Arsenal secure their spot in the championships! We're going to go jump in the pool before we settle down for the night. Talk to you tomorrow.

5:30 in the morning. We have to wake up for a 7:30 game. Walking down to the lobby, Amel is all hyper saying, "Power to the people." Car ride over to the field was the same as normal...loud, music & laughing. Warming up was the most intense ever, there was music playing the national anthem, and we were all into it.

Game time! We were playing great and everything just went right. First half was over Eagles 3 Hawks 0. Second hald Hawks put up a good fight and we only scored one more in the net. Score:4-0 us!!!...now we were off to the animal kingdom. When we got there we went on a Safari ride, it was pretty fun seeing all the animals. Then we all went on this one water ride which got you totally soaked!! It was really fun.

After leaving Animal Kingdom we came back to the hotel room got dressed and took showers, to go watch the U-15 boys play, Arsenal. They ended up winning 4-2, it was a great comeback very exciting to watch. Afterwards we went to Quiznos, it was good. We headed home ate dinner and then went to bed for an early game in the morning. Catch ya later!

Today was our first day off of our soccer games. At first we were planned to head over to Disney's Animal Kingdom, but our coach said that he didn't want us on our feet so that kind of put a damper on things. After our daily team meeting, Sidney said that the boating over at Down Town Disney was really fun. So Sidney, Kelly, Gracie, Katie, Sam, Haley, Kelly's mom Karine and Chloe headed over there.

The boating was really fun, Haley and Chloe were together, Sam and Kelly were together, Sidney and Karine were together, and Katie and Gracie were together. It was awesome, the boats were called "Speed Mice" and we could drive them ourselves. After we got started we decided to race a little bit, but there wasn't really a winner. Then we turned around and went exploring through the different parts of the lake, and the lake was pretty big. Everything was going smoothly until Sam and Kelly's boat decided not to work. The guys working there said that they flooded the motor and harbor patrol had to take one of their boats to go and get them. It was pretty hilarious watching them being towed in. After boating we were pretty hot, so we went over to Earl of Sandwich to grab a bite to eat, and it was very good.

After eating we all wanted to go to the World of Disney, which had about every type of souvenir imaginable. We were there for about an hour checking out all of the little Princess stuff. When we were done with our shopping, we came back to our hotel and watched the movie Envy. Jack Black was funny, but besides that it wasn't at all. After that, we went back to the soccer fields to watch the U-16 Slammers team play. They won 2-0. It was a great game. After the game, we went to eat at T.G.I Fridays and took it back to the hotel. Now we're going to go to bed because we have a early game tomorrow at 7:30 so, I'll catch you cats on the flip flop..later.

Today, Tuesday, was a long day. We woke up this morning at 7 am. Got dressed hopped in the elevator than went down to breakfast at this mini mart in our hotel which haves some bagels and RED BULL... ... We met at the field at 9:00 for our game at 10:30. The Game was tough and it was a good battle. Our team came out with a win 2-0 hard fought win. After the game we watched the other U14 teams to see what to expect for the rest of the week. We went around and got some free stuff from the snickers stand, then went back to the hotel.

We got back to the hotel and tried to figure out what to do. So some of us decided to go boating and some of the other girls decided just to stay at the hotel and relax and sit in the pool. Both groups had a great time. After we were finished, we all went to support the regions GU-17 So Cal United team play. They had a great game. After we got back from the game we wanted to go see a show at downtown disney called Cirque De Sole but unfortunately it was sold out. We ended up staying at the hotel and relaxing.

We were very happy to come out with a win today because we are one game closer to our goal of being National Champions. The team is greatful to be here. Our hard work and effort is paying off, but we won't let our journey end early. Our next game is thursday and we are all anxious to play. Wish us Luck and we will let you know how we do!!!

We started the morning running around, going in each others rooms, looking to see who can do who's hair. Panicing, but I guess we all got ready in time. The head people of the tournament gave speeches about this weekend and how we need courage, integrity and to be a player of true character. The food at the luncheon was all pretty good--the potatoes were awesome, the chicken was delicious. The butter for the bread was shaped like flowers. The cake was like a chocolate pudding flavor.

Once the luncheon was over, we changed and were off to MGM Studios--we were kinda disappointed with what we saw--spending $60 on 3 rides. It's not what we thought it would be. The Tower of Terror was the funnest thing we have done so far, the screaming was unbelievable.

We were so bored with MGM that we left, picked up our assistant coach Mikey, and headed to the Macaroni Grill for dinner. It was yummy!!!! We told the waitress that it was Mikey's birthday so they brought him cake and sang to him J Now we're going for a quick swim then off to a team meeting to prep for tomorrow's game. We'll let you know how it goes, wish us luck!!

Ahhhh, we have to be down stairs in the lobby at 7 :45, after like 3 and a half hours of sleep. Next stop Disney Wide World of Sports complex for practice, it was one of the nicest facility our team has seen in a while. Once that was done we headed off to eat brunch at this nasty buffet. Kaitlin, Kirsten, and I are playing with a ball we bought at the store, neighbors aren't to pleased with us you can hear them banging on the wall. Now everyone is relaxing and trying to figure out weather they are going to go swimming or down stairs and shop. Well we have decided to get cleaned up and go shopping and see if we can get our nails done at the spa for our banquet tomorrow. Get back to you when we are done!!!

Ok! We just got back from Downtown Disney, and there was so many photo opportunities. After practically running out of film we all headed over to the Rain Forest Cafe for dinner. We had about a 45 min wait so, during that time we tried on a bunch of hats and glasses. Dinner was worth the wait not only was the food good but your surroundings entertained you . After eating, we left and came back to the hotel.

We walked down to the pool to go check it out and we ran back up stairs to get our swimsuits on. After playing Marco Polo we got bored and went back up stairs. Now we are going to watch a movie and we are all looking forward to our banquet tomorrow. Well movie is about to start, talk to you later!!!

4:45 California time, Flight One

Waiting in anticipation at gate 58, all of us sitting there anxious to get to Florida. We sat there for about an hour and a half, listening to music and just chillen. Before we knew it the parents had there flashes on taking pictures. Then finally we got on the plane. Luckily we were the first ones to board the plane because we are under the age of 18. Kirsten and I had to hike all the way to the back of the plane to find out we were in one of the last rows all by ourselves. Then all of the sudden the power on the whole plane went out, and we were freaking out! Saying, "What would have happened if we were in the air?" Kirsten was sitting there saying, "Wusa," from Bad Boys 2. It was pretty funny.

After takeoff Mikey, one of our coaches, came back to talk to us. Just talking about soccer, what we were planning on doing in Florida, and also about hats. That was just the beginning of the flight, then we just sat there bored, and listening to music for a while. Later on we decided to watch Bad Boys 2, it was hilarious. Best movie ever. "Bad Boys Bad Boys what you gonna do, what you gonna do when they come for you?" Catch ya on the connecting flight.

Flight Two

Just landed in Atlanta , Georgia. We got of the 1st plane and went straight on the next taking us to Orlando, Florida. This flight was much quicker than the last. We did the usual sat, talked. After we got to Orlando it was amazing how humid it was at like 1 in the morning. We can't even imagine how hot it is going to be at 12 pm tomorrow. Well we have to go to bed now it is like 2:45. Good Night!
