     Hey guys! We're back in Bowling Green! Taylor got wrapped last Thursday (for a two week break), and we drove home Friday! I surprised my grandma and grandpa! I was happy to see them and all my family here!
     One Saturday when Taylor wasn't filming in Mount Dora, we drove to Orlando and went to SeaWorld! We had so much fun! We rode rides, saw Shamu, watched a cool Dolphin show (Which if you go to, don't sit in the splash zone... I can not stress that enough...), rode in pedal boats, and ate FUNNEL CAKES!!!!! I had a awesome time at SeaWorld. Here is a random video of the rides, stadiums, animals, and overall  park. I couldn't get footage of any shows, because we sat in the splash zone...

     Here are some videos of filming Ryann Watters: Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, and Day 8. The Day 1 video is in my last blog. To keep seeing Ryann Watters videos, go to the 'RyannWattersMovie' channel on Youtube.
     Thanks for reading!

     We made it to Florida! This is our second day on filming Ryann Watters! We are having so much fun! The cast and crew are amazing! Here are some pictures--

     Mount Dora is sooo cool!! :) I love it! Ryann Watters will be a great movie! Everyone here is so excited to see it when it is released in Summer 2010! 
     Here is an article and a video of Ryann Watters! They are both really awesome!

     Has anyone seen Taylor in the Bowling Green paper? She got most of the second page in the latest issue of The Daily News! It's so awesome! Daily News Interviewers came to our house and asked Taylor questions about her career. She did amazing! Here is a link to the Daily News Website and Taylor's Article:

     Today was really exciting and fun!! Our local news channel, WBKO, came to our house to interview Taylor about her new movie! I also appeared on WBKO with her! We sat at our dining room table and read the Ryann Watters script together! It was so much fun! Then, we went to our living room and filmed Taylor's interview for the show. This aired on WBKO at 6:00pm today. I had fun filming and watching Taylor be interviewed! Here is a video of what aired on WBKO today with us in it!

     It was so cool to be on TV :) and we are proud of Taylor for using her career to spread the Gospel!! :)

     We made it to AMTC! We have had so much fun! An amazing number of people know who we are. AMTC even gave Taylor her own autograph session. She gave out Ryann Watters books and bookmarks, and signed AMTC program books for her many fans in attendance. I was the one who made it happen :) I helped security, handed out books as the people entered, and opened and closed the rope for people to meet with Taylor. I even had contestants take my picture and ask me questions about being Taylor's brother :) I had fun being on the staff.
     Besides meeting Taylor's fans, viewing competitions, and having fun, we watched Taylor speak as an AMTC Guest Star. She did amazing and gave great advice to contestants as they walked to the microphone asking Taylor questions about her career. 
     I've had so much fun here at AMTC. I remember when we were here two years ago, watching Taylor perform. I'm sad this was our last day. I love everyone here so much!

Thanks for reading everyone! I added Ryann Watters links and a new poll to the right :) Congratulations to all the award winners tonight! I'll miss you AMTC!

     I have no idea what's wrong with my blog editor, but it hasn't loaded at all in days. I guess today was the right day to write. :)
     Today me and dad took our bikes (which we took to New York with us) to Liberty State Park about ten minutes away. It's a huge park right next to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Once we arrived, we rode around the whole park, down piers, through the New Jersey Marina and yacht club, pedaled down parking lots, through Jersey City and down it's streets, then stopped and rode a water taxi to Manhattan. Once there, in Manhattan, we rode through the South part of the island, or the Financial District. I rode down the streets, around Battery Park, and right by the new World Trade Center or Freedom Tower (Which is almost halfway built). We then rolled our bikes up to the World Financial Center Plaza next to the Freedom Tower to eat. After we ate, we rode more in the city and back to New Jersey on a Water Taxi. We rode more around the park, helped some people get their bike chain back on track, and called it a day as we rode our bikes back to the truck- joking about our fun day.
     Here are some pix.

On the Water Taxi. Next Stop- New York City! 

After our ride through New York. Back in Liberty State Park.

     I've been everywhere with my new bike I got a few weeks ago! Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Uptown by Central Park and downtown in the Financial District. And- in Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia this Summer.
     Anywhoo, after we got back we told our stories to everyone, uploaded our pictures, then ate at Outback. Besides, I think I deserve Outback after riding my bike for more than twenty miles, right? :)
