Miss Minnesota Week - Tuesday

It was Minnesota Zoo day!  We all wore our matching Miss Minnesota T-shirts and had the opportunity to wander around the Minnesota Zoo for awhile.  We all attended the bird show which was so much fun to watch!  Kathryn was even chosen as a volunteer to let a bird fly up onto her arm!

After the zoo we ate at Chianti's Grill and then headed to the hotel to pack up all of our competition "stuff" to bring to the theater.  It was quite the task, but we managed to get everything there.

Once we got settled into the theater we had rehearsal on the stage where we mastered the opening number today ;-)

After rehearsal we got ready to eat at Bucca Di Beppo.  It was fantastic!  Pasta, bread, and desserts...what else could we ask for?!

Tomorrow we are eating at my favorite breakfast restaurant, The Original Pancake House!  I am so excited to eat a hearty breakfast that will include bananna pancakes! YUM! After breakfast we will be having rehearsal all day at the theater.  When I say all day I mean it!  It will be a good six hours of dancing and walking in heals to make sure the show runs seamlessly this weekend.  After rehearsal, all of the contestants will be going bowling.  It will be nice to relax and hang out with the other contestants as we enjoy a fun evening together before competition starts on Thursday.  We will be getting back to the hotel early tomorrow night which will be nice to get my beauty sleep before preliminaries start on Thursday.  I still cannot believe how fast time is going by! 

  

Always,
