Hmmm. National Champs? Yep!

This past weekend - yes, Easter weekend - we spent at a cheer competition. After endless whining about having to pull my kid out of school on Friday to compete - yes, they had school on Good Friday - all of our gym's teams did amazing! All teams got either first or second place! Carissa's team had to learn practically an entire new routine because they dropped from 30 kids down to 20. They cut a few kids and a few dropped out because of conflicts with other sports. Therefore, they had to redo their routine. This happened about 2 weeks ago and it's been a rough couple of weeks with them trying to learn everything in time. The coaches told them that they'd be happy with a top 5 placing out of 7 teams, but that top 3 would be great. After day one, they were in first place. They held that lead on day 2, too. So they are national champs again. The coolest part - real leather jackets! They are sooo nice! Next stop: Myrtle Beach, SC next weekend.
