Go Generals!

 Maddie had a cheer competition in Tallasee  recently on a frigid, windy day.   I'm talking seriously cold!!  The competition involved a jump off, chants, cheer and a dance.  Maddie's group went second, and they were awesome.   After they competed, I really didn't think they could be beat-until the next squad went!!  They were very good, too.  So, Maddie's team received second place after a really great performance!  Two girls on her squad also received awards for the jump off. I don't remember exactly how many squads competed, but there were quite a few.  Maddie's group has lots of 5 year olds, so I thought that made their win even more special!  I have sat through so many camp performances and games with her mom cheering, so this brought back lots and lots of memories!

This little blue-eyed sweetie got to stay with a babysitter! Pop and Josh got in a few snuggles before we left.

All bundled up, waiting (and waiting and waiting) on the event to start!  Maddie's bow was standing straight up due to the blustery wind!!

And we're off!!

Cheer!  My favorite is the two upside down signs!!  That didn't effect their performance!  They were truly awesome!!

Dance! 

And a well deserved trophy!!

This has been a very long, but fun season.  I am amazed at how much Maddie has progressed!  I see lots more of these events in our future!

These are some pictures the babysitter sent of Reed during the competition!  He looks like he had a great time!  So glad he stayed warm!

Another quick but fun trip is in the books! Lindsey just called.  Both girls have strep!!  Bless them!
