It had all of the same stuff  we have at our store, Snap Dragon. Paige met us in Black Mountain. Then we went some more stores. We went to a ice cream and chocolate shop. I got a pretzel rod with icing and sprinkles. It was yummy. After we were done shopping we went to the hotel. We stayed at the Residence Inn. It was nice. We ate out for dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. The next day we ate breakfast then took showers. Madison, Brittney and Haily had their meet at 9:00. We went to the gym and watched them for a little bit and then ate lunch. Declan and I had Chick- fil-a. Mom and Paige ate at Panera bread. After we ate we went back to the hotel. My meet started at 4:00. I got a sweatshirt.

When we got there Mom and Paige took Declan and me to the playroom. There is a movie screen, a rock climbing and a ball pit. Declan watched Princess and the Frog. That was that was on. I did the rock climbing and played in the ball pit. I did all of the stuff. After mom picked us up we ate lunch. After lunch we did a little bit more shopping. Then Paige had to go back to school and we had to go home. We watched Little Vampire on the way home. We stopped at Bojangles. We went through the drive through. We got home at 8:00. I love Meets. They are fun but sometimes tiring. :)
