Synchronized ice skating

安娜星期日去看姐姐滑冰比赛。我们一大早6点半就出发了，开到迪斯尼冰场，到晚上6点才回来。安娜平时经常看姐姐滑冰，但这是第一次看真正的比赛。她特别喜欢看姐姐穿上滑冰的衣服。姐姐滑冰队表演时，她也跟着观众大声呼叫，鼓掌。回来的路上，她累坏了，睡了一路。Anna went watching Leah’s team's ice skating competition on Sunday. We left early in the morning at 6:30 and drove all the way to Anaheim and didn't get back to home until 6 at night. Anna has seen Leah ice skating many times, but this was her first time to watch a real competition. She loved to see Leah in her ice skating dress and cheered up for their team. She was so exhausted and slept through on the way back.
