We signed up Alice to participate in a cheer leading clinic. It was a one night affair, and afterwards parents were invited to see what the girls had learned.
This first movie is from that evening. The "clinic" was a fund raiser for the high school cheerleaders who taught the girls the cheers. I finally got Alice in a position where I could film her, and one of the high school girls stood right in the way! Oh well! I think you can see Alice in the second row just to our right of the cheerleader in the center of the shot.
Just to break it up a bit, chronologically what happened next was at gymnastics class. Alice is really enjoying taking this class with twin girlfriends from school. I think this picture was from the second class. She climbed higher on the rope than I ever did in school! I think she has subsequently gone even higher!
The second part of the cheer leading clinic was to be able to "cheer" at a JV High school football game. The Saturday morning of the game it was rainy and miserable! You could tell who the die-hard girls were - just the fact that we were even *at* the game!
Alice was a bit overwhelmed at the whole affair. The high school girls gave each girl a pom pom to use - and I think that was the best part for Alice! I think next year we will definitely do this again!
