Cheer Camp & Seven Peaks

Hooray! Today was the first day of camp for my 7th grade squad, and we had an awesome time! The dances were a little fast for the girls, but they're getting them. Stunting, however, is where they really shine. Most of the stunts they were teaching, our girls had already done, so they worked on their competition stunts some. We also got the most coveted award in cheerleading - the SPIRIT STICK. (Ooohs and aahs are appropriate here. :)) I was so proud of them! Hopefully, they'll work just as hard the next 2 days, right? Anyway, it's always fun to see their hard work paying off.

After camp, Kent, the girls, Lauren's BFF Oakley, and I all went to Seven Peaks to relax and play. We found another of Lauren's friends there, Makenzie, so the 3 of them ran off together. Lindsey is getting to be such a good, little swimmer! She LOVES the water, and seems to spend a lot of time beneath the surface lately. Her swim instructor said she's a natural - she may grow fins! Emily is still a lot more timid about it. In her defense, she has nearly drown a couple of times over the years, so maybe her reluctance is well-founded. Hopefully, all the time we've spent at the waterpark will help her get more comfortable with water.
