The CHAOS group had an amazing time at Rock the Universe. We arrived at our AMAZING ROCK STAR pad on Friday around 5:00 pm. Everyone was assigned a room for the weekend and we headed out to Universal! After a few detours, thanks to Miss Amy's TomTom, we made it and got out tickets with no problem. Unfortunately, we did miss Skillet.
We broke into groups and headed out! Some went to see Relient K and others went to see what the park had to offer. We met up for dinner at the Monsters Cafe and then waited on Switchfoot to take the stage! We hung out for several songs and then were off to the rides again!
By 1:00 am, most everyone was ready to go home! Miss Deb's group didn't slow down once they got headed toward the car and they were the first back to the house! Miss Dawn's group followed shortly, but Miss Amy's group waited for one more ride, Shrek 4D! Once everyone was back at the house, they convinced the chaperones to allow a late-night\early-morning swim! Once it got too loud, everyone was sent to bed!
Saturday morning wake-up calls started around 9:45 am so we could make it to the 10:00 am devotional where Daniel and Brittany led a conversation about the importance of praising God and ways we can do it everyday. Then we were on our own until 4:00 pm when we voted we would leave for Islands of Adventure! We swam, played in the game room, watched TV, and some of us did our homework!
At 4:00 pm we went to Islands of Adventure. We didn't have a lot of time there since they closed at 7:00 pm, but we got in 2 or 3 rides before we headed back to Universal. Back to the rides! We had dinner at Woody's Kidzone Pizza, then went to see Jeremy Camp! After the concert, we all went to the Simpsons and then to Men In Black! It was awesome!!
By midnight, we were wiped out! We went to do some shopping at the Universal Store and then took pictures by the Universal Globe, because Miss Amy said we could NOT leave without those pictures!!
Sunday morning, we had to get up super early, 7:45 am to get ready to head home and to go to the Worship Service at the Fear Factor Ampitheatre. Everyone helped clean up, mostly everyone, and pack the cars. Some of the girls had trouble finding their shoes, probably because Daniel had some trouble finding his "shorts" the night before. But we were out of the house and on our way by 9:20 am!
The Worship Service was awesome, but we were soooo tired! There was a band and Brian "Head" Welch from Korn lead the opening prayer! You should have seen Allie's face! Gary Morgan gave the message - it was about how God sees us for what we can be and not what we are!
We stopped at Backyard Burgers for lunch and milkshakes and were back in Lake City around 4:30 pm! Everyone made it to school and work the next day, except Miss Amy, who isn't as young as she thought! ;)
