It is hard to believe my little girl starts high school in just a few short month, and she is already working on skills for her new "teams." I was proud to learn she had made the JV Cheerleading Squad at Trinity Valley School for 2009-2010.
She attended UCA Cheer Camp (the same camp that I attended 25 years ago when I first became a cheerleader in 9th grade) at the University of Texas at Arlington (my Alma Mater). She stayed in the dorms for the first time, and now is quite looking forward to dorm life.
Our sweet family decided to stay on after my last wedding and enjoy a little "mini-break" as the English call it. We made use of the suite we were in to have all four kids come and enjoy the amenities offered by the Texan. Summerfest has a number of cool programs in which we took part. They have a pool party each evening (reminded me of being on the cruise) complete with DJ (albeit, a little loud). Later on in the evening, they had a "splash-in" movie (A Shark Tale) that the kids really enjoyed. They also had musicians singing in the atrium area as well as a host of other performers (the monkey was especially fun). This coupled with breakfast provided for the whole clan made it a very restful 24 hours.
