National FFA Convention 2008

This year I went to FFA Convention in Inianapolis, Indiana with my FFA Chapter and some of the Memebers in the chapter. We left the Sky Harbor Airport at 12 P.M. on the 22nd of October.



We Layed over in Atlanta, Georgia.. and we also ate dinner in the Airport.




Once we touched down in Indy, we visited with some of our AZ Members. Mostly Luisa, from the Rio Rico FFA Chapter. She is an amazing individual and so friendly. I've known her since my freshman year in High School.



We got checked into our Hotel, and decided we once again were HUNGRY so we went to a nearby burger joint called Steak and Shake They have the best French Fries, and Shakes.. MMMmmm Miss it already :D



This the view from my mom's room window, it is the Conseico Field House, where alot of our Convention Sessions were held.



After our 1st Session we went to the Taylor Swift Concert, we were able to walk there as it wasnt very far from the Conseico Field House, and our Hotel. The concert was really good and Im glad it was my first one, i was able to be with alot of good friends and make many memories.






Shelby and I getting as close as we could to the stage, lol.. :D



During our Stay there we also ate at a resturant in the Mall it was a steakhouse called CHAMPS . the food was delicious!!!



We were at the FFA Mall and they had contestants doing some musical performing, so my friend Heston and I started to do some swing dancing.. that Dancing soon ended and Mckenzie and I started doing our favorite FFA dance the COTTON EYE JOE we also got some other members to learn it, they caught on fairly quick..





One crazy thing that happened to me while I was at FFA Convention was I saw a very good friend from when I lived in Utah, her name is Taci Shaffer she was representing the National High School Rodeo Association .



The same day I saw Taci we went to the Dodge Bull Riding Series. It was really fun, Shelby had never been to something like this so it was alot of fun showing her and teaching her while she was experiencing the excitement of Bull Riding..



There was also learning experiences while we were in Indy, There was a Civil War Memorial Building, it was 100 floors up and we could walk up there or ride a small 4 or 5 person elevator, but we were going to fit all 9 of us in it... and you bet we all fit going up and down... talk about a tight fit...





I was so glad that my mom was allowed to go and be our Chaperone, everyone had enjoyed her bein thier chaperone too. I got to be with her for the week and we got to get to know one another more. She even got to go on her own adventures and was able to meet Baxter Black how cool is that, I am SO super Jealous!!!




I had such a good time, I am just glad that Mom and I got to be together for that weekend. It was so good to spend just time with her and have it be me and her. I love my mom so much, it was a good weekend and i enjoyed her bein around one event that i enjoy so much!
