Bengal Cheer Clinic

March 3, 2012

Abby participated in the ISU cheer clinic. On Friday night she went up to the Holt and learned her little routine and had some fun with the cheerleaders. It is so great that her teacher she has for her cheerleading class in also the the cheerleading coach for ISU. We love Misty and she does such a great job. Then on Saturday she performed at halftime of the girl's basketball game. Side note...... ISU girls basketball team won the Big Sky and went on to represent in the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately they lost yesterday in their first game to Miami, but way to represent!! Abby did a great job dancing/cheering. She did act a little apprehensive because she does not like mascots very much, and Benny The Bengal was usually in her visual! Chad and Amanda were staying with us for the weekend, so it was fun having them there as well!!

This boy is NOT afraid of mascots!!

I just thinking how funny it is that Abby likes cheerleading, and I love that she loves it! I did do tap dance, lots of clogging, and a little bit of gymnastics as a kid but soon as I started watching my brothers play basketball and other sports, that is all I wanted to do. I'm pretty much opposite of a cheerleader.......... ! As a mom, I really want to expose my kids to lots of things and let them experience many things. Especially while they are young because I know that the older they get we can't do everything we have to pick and choose and not over schedule ourselves.....I think it is very important to teach your children the importance of exercising, setting goals, and developing talents whatever they may be. For that I say GO FIGHT WIN!
