This weekend my cheerleading team made the 5 hour (school) bus ride from Ottawa to Brampton to compete in the University and Open National Cheerleading Championships! We didn’t do as well as we’d hoped, but we still had lots of fun! Definitely something to work on for next year though! Again, I had the largest entourage there.

Three other blondes came (Erica, Micaela and Katelyn, obviously not Leah), two aunts, one friend, one dad, and one OPA! That’s right, Opa came to a cheerleading competition! Mom wished she could come, but at the last minute had to drop out because she remembered she promised a friend she would help with a murder mystery that night. It’s alright mom, you can look at the pictures and relive it that way. Speaking of pictures, here are some taken by Katelyn and me from the competition!

Me!

This is Ashley.  I don't have a picture of us together, but she just recently learned how to fit her whole fist in her mouth.

The after party was soo much fun. It was basically all the teams at one bar. Ridiculous, but fun! Has anyone ever been to one of these competitions? Or competed in cheerleading?

I haven’t been in cheerleading comps since 6th thru 9th grade. (I’m 41 now…shhh…lol) But I still enjoy watching them on tv. It gets more technical all the time. Keep up the great work and have fun!

The closest I’ve been to a cheerleading competition is watching Bring It On in theatres with Nadia.

@ Canucklehead- you should see the picture with both coaches with their fist in their mouth. Gareth has quite the talent.

@Collette- It’s crazy now! But fun!

@Leaah- you should have made the trip out this year! geeeez.
