Trying Something New

Megan got the opportunity to go to cheer camp this past Saturday.  My friend's daughter is a varsity cheerleader for her school.  They were holding a cheer camp for the elementary children.  Megan was very excited to participate!  The group, which consisted of about 45 girls, got to cheer with the cheerleaders during half-time of the JV basketball game.

She had a good time.  This was definitely a new experience for her.  Since she is not in a public school, Megan isn't usually in a group setting that large.  She also has never been in front a crowd of people bigger than our church congregation.  She was a little nervous when she first went out there with the other girls, but she did a great job for a five year old girl's first time in front of a group of strangers.

Of course, it wasn't only strangers in the crowd.  We had a little crew of fans to cheer Meggy on in the bleachers.  I (Mommy) was there, as well as her grandma, her aunt and uncle, two sisters, and my friend with the varsity cheerleader daughter.
