Cheer Competition #2...
Next up in the whirlwind of the past few months was Ainsley's 2nd Cheer Competition. Walker was on a scout camp out and was very glad he didn't have to go and sit for hours... listening to screaming girls and the constant loud throbbing of music! I have learned to take headache medicine before you actually set foot in the gym!!
Getting ready for a cheer competition takes an insane amount of time... braiding hair from the base up and then tight curling every strand of hair alone takes a good hour... then there is the cheer makeup! Ainsley not being one to wake up early did her cheer makeup in the car along the way to the competition... good thing it was over an hour away!
Two things when I look at this picture...
- How unbelievably gorgeous she is!
- and how in the heck does she get makeup on this good... especially while riding in the car!?!
They ended up going with glitter eyes... thank goodness they did that at the gym... can you imagine the mess in the car with that?!?
I am always amazed and at the edge of my seat watching Ainsley perform in cheer routines... she absolutely loves it! I wish I would have known from when she was little that this would be her passion so we could have enrolled her in gymnastic/cheer classes! The hardest thing for her has been getting her tumbling up to par especially her back flexibility... for back handsprings.
The girls did an amazing job and the coaches fixed what they needed to from the last competition and they got 2nd Place!!
