Last fall Lindsey decided to give "cheer" a try. She has been tumbling for quite some time, and loves it, but she wanted to incorporate it into something else. She has tried dance but didn't care for it. Cheer seemed like a good alternative. After a month on the junior team, they bumped her up the senior team which she was happy about. We had some highs and some lows as Lindsey was moved from a flyer, to a tumbler, to a base. It was a good lesson for her to recognize that being part of a team means you do what is best for the team, not what you think is best for you.
Spring is competition time. Because the practices are closed, I had never seen them perform and wasn't sure what to expect. At their first performance I was pleasantly surprised. They were great! I'll admit I'm biased but they were actually really good. Their coaches have done a great job blending 5 year olds up to 16 year olds into one performance. It has been fun to watch them perform. I've enjoyed spending the time with Lindsey too. We stayed over in Salt Lake one night and usually end up spending entire Saturdays together when they compete. We've had some great bonding time.
