Day 1 at Jr Miss United States World Pageant in Houston

We arrived in Houston on Sunday June 20th, the day before pageant activities began. Everyone kept telling us how hot it was going to be in Houston, and boy were they right. That didn't stop us however from making our way to the Galleria - The biggest mall we had ever been in - over 400 stores! It was nice to arrive early so we could get settled in and just hang out. On Monday Allie had Registration & Orientation, this was when Allie met all the other girls competing in the Jr Miss division. She also met Gasper Cruz the director of the Teen United States World pageant. All the girls received some fun gifts and also their dresses that they were going to wear for opening number. After Orientation it was off to bed because the Jr Miss girls had interview early in the morning.
