Saturday.

Today it's the day of our local walk.
My sister, niece and me will take mom with us in a wheelchair.
So mom can sit and we have to push her wheelchair.

What do you do on Saturday.

We're thinking of going to a renaissance festival here in TN.

Where do you go for your local walk? through any parks or trails or anything nice like that?

Today is actually my mom's birthday. My dad is taking me out to work on learning to drive a standard and then we are going to get a cake for my mom and make her a really nice dinner.

Today is the first day (of two) that my daughter will compete for Miss Washington State's Outstanding Teen. In this first part of the competition we will find out if she makes the top ten contestants. Tomorrow we will find out if she wins.

Some of you might remember she was crowned Miss Pierce County's Outstanding Teen back in March. The state competition is much tougher than the county competiton she won a few months ago.

It's a local walk in my town.
You can walk different distances.
We took the 5 kilometer distance.
After you finished this walk you get a medail.
It's heavy walking behind a wheelchair.

That's exciting Gary.
I hope she will do good.

When I was a kid we lived in Germany for a few years. Sometimes we would do these 'walks'. Only in Germany they call them Volksmarch (sp?), and they do have different distances (like you said). I think I might still have one my medals/medallions. I hope the weather was good for your walk.

Yes, the weather was good for a walk.
Mom has gotten a medail.

Last night was the final night for my daughters Miss Washington's Outstanding Teen competition. Out of 21 girls she didn't make the top 10, she was rather bummed out about that but only one girl can win. I think she is feeling much better today, and she is very happy for the girl who did win.
The girl who won competed last year and came in 2nd or 3rd place (this was my daughter's first time competing). This typically happens, the girl's who do well the first year but don't win, often come back to win next year.

Now I can imagine your daughter is disappointed.
That's the problem with a competition, only one can win.
Maybe next year your daugther has more luck.

Well it is good that she still has a title (She is still Miss Pierce County's Outstanding Teen). And she will get to do many things to support her county. She won't be able to compete next year, because she already holds a title from this year (2010), but she will be old enough the year after that to compete as an actual Miss contestant (not just a teen).

She will be in college by then, so we will se if she is even interested in competing or not.
