Dance and Cheer

Last weekend we went to Holdrege, NE. Matt's cousin, Bronwyn, is a Senior and is on the Dance team. They were doing a Cheer and Dance camp for the kids. You can imagine how excited Lainey and Sophie were. They practice for 2 hours in the afternoon (what a BRAVE bunch of highschoolers!) and performed at half-time of the Girls' Varsity game. As an added bonus his cousin, Rob, is a Sophomore and plays JV and Varsity ball for Holdrege, so we were able to watch him as well. We also got to see Grammy & Grandpa Monte, Uncle Mike, Aunt Wendi & Aldyn, Aunt Mollie & Adam, Great-Aunt Trish Sheffield, Great-Aunt Beth & Annie Allmand at the game as well! WOW! AND...my college friend, Kristin's husband coaches the Holdrege girls, so we got to watch him, and I got to visit and catch-up with her. She has a little girl, Skylar, a little younger than Sophie and the girls enjoyed playing at their house a bit in the afternoon and hanging out during the games. [We dropped Sawyer off with my parents in Kearney (Thanks, Mom & Dad!) as he was battling a little cold and cutting several teeth. It would have been too long and too much sitting for him.] The girls were able to have a sleep-over with Grammy and Grandpa Monte at Great-Grandma Elaine's house in Axtell to end the night which they thought was extra-special. It was a REALLY fun day!!!!
