First Cheer Practice

Autumn has been so excited for tonight, b/c it’s her first cheer practice.  We met at a local park at 7:15 and got some business out of the way (like paying for practice clothes, cheer camp and uniforms).  Then it was time for the girls to practice.  They found a shady spot b/c it was 101* outside, but we had a nice breeze so it wasn’t intolerable.  They learned 2 easy cheers and at the end, they had us come over and video tape them w/ our phones so we can practice at home.

One of the Mom’s & her daughter made pom pom looking flip flops for all 11 girls on the team!  Too cute.

This is our group (minus one girl who was on vacation) & our 2 coaches.  The Mom & girls all seem really nice & laid back.  I am so excited for Autumn & all the fun & exercise & camaraderie & learning & growing she’ll do.  This is a big time & financial commitment, but I think it’ll be completely worth it.

When we got home, we saw this rabbit just chillaxin’ in the front yard.  He didn’t even move a muscle when we pulled into the driveway or when we put up the garage door.  I took this picture and then walked closer to see if maybe he was hurt.  A dog came running down the sidewalk, and the rabbit took off running.  Whew!
