If you are ever looking for the time of your life, it is definitely in the car on the way to a Rainbow event! Sometimes the car ride itself is the best part of the trip. The trips usually start bright and early in the morning with lots of Rainbow Girls piled into one car. All of the girls are fully stocked with pillows and blankets to nap for a little bit. After a short time in the car, we usually stop by Starbucks and get caffeine and food. Shortly after this stop, everyone in the car is awake. For the next few hours in the car, it is endless singing to the radio, funny SnapChats of each other, hilarious jokes and lots of laughing! 

Sometimes on road trips we take stops along the way. For example, on one road trip, we made a stop at a small beach outside of Hampton to run around and take funny pictures. Another car trip we made a stop for the restroom after one girl was needing to use the bathroom, while we were on a small road in the middle of nowhere. It took about 20 mins to find the closest bathroom but we eventually made it, even after the driver offered to stop on the side of the road to let the girl hide behind a tree and use the bathroom (the girl didn’t find it very funny!).

We have also made many stops at consignment shops along the way to find lots of great clothing and formal dresses. We always find the best stuff when we thrift shop together. Another way car rides are always entertaining is that sometimes when we stop we have to walk in to wherever we’re going in formal dresses even if it’s a gas station or fast food restaurant. I love always getting to stay up until 2 AM with my Rainbow Sisters singing our favorite songs!  

Rainbow car rides will always be one of my favorite events!

On April 28, Manassas Assembly attended the MCHQWA ball. We had over 15 girls and lots of adults. Katie was introduced as Worthy Advisor and a Grand Officer. Gigi was also introduced as a Grand Officer. We all danced and hung out with the other youth groups there. It was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for the next one!

This term, Manassas Assembly is doing a little fun competition! I made coin jars with all the girls names on them and three littles bags. We have already collected the coins two times this term and we will have another one next month. The Girl that raises the most money will receive a prize! Everyone better watch out, our little Ella is on a mission!! Our goal is to raise $200 to go to our charities!!

The first Rainbow event I ever attended was the Rainbow Retreat in 2016.  Back then, I was a Prospect and I had only just learned about Rainbow. Isabella’s mom talked to my parents about it and they decided to sign me up for the Retreat only a week before the event! I remember that I rode with Joella there and rode back with Joella and my friend Denise, another Prospect. I met a bunch of people there, including Vanessa, Gigi, Libby, and Rachal. The event I remember the most clearly was the costume contest.   There were a lot of people and a lot of costumes, consisting of a skeleton, Nemo, Freddy Fazbear, a Vampire and many more.  I dressed up as an Owl, a costume I made myself for Odyssey of the Mind and I won Most Original (I’m pretty sure, I forgot the exact name) and I received a Harry Potter bracelet. Overall, the event was memorable, and the next year was just as amazing! I can’t wait for this year’s Retreat!
