Little Kids
I don't understand little kids.
They have this endless source of energy.
They just keep going and going and going.
So as you can see, I've spent the last 4 or so hours with lots of little first and second graders. My cheerleading squad does this mini-camp for elementary aged kids. It goes from around 830-12ish. Now you might think...oh, hey, that's not that long! But trust me, it is. I had gotten 5 hours of sleep the night before, and you can imagine how excited I was to get up and go to cheer camp in the pouring rain. But it's so funny how a bunch of excited little girls can totally cheer you up. They look at you like you're some kind of god...this all-powerful and mighty high school cheerleader, squealing when anyone of us did a jump, backhandspring, or the splits. I must say, it really has a way of boosting your self-esteem =). They're all so tiny, when I was spotting them for jumps, I thought I was going to break them, haha. We taught them stretches, motions, and cheers, but the thing they wanted to do the best was play games...hahaha. Typical. The favorites were Duck-Duck Goose, cheerleader style (so instead of saying duck you said "cheer", and instead of goose you said "cheerleader". And if you get tagged, you have to go to the center of the circle and stretch as "punishment". Ok, it's lame, but they liked it), and another popular game was Cheerleaders & Minnows (like Sharks and Minnows, but with cheerleaders instead =D)
The thing I find so interesting about younger kids is their ability to latch on and make friends so fast. I mean, we were only together for a few hours, but near the end, all the girls were all talking and playing like they had known each other for years. Not to mention they were holding our hands, linking arms with us, and giving all of us hugs. I mean, personally, I don't hug someone when I've only known them for three hours. Maybe thats just me. I don't really know what happens as you grow up, but its just gets harder and harder to make friends in new situations as you get older. It's strange, when you think about it. You'd think that we'd be better at making friends and being outgoing, because we're older. But nope, little first graders are so much better at it. It's ironic, really. In my opinion, we should all try and be more like them. Imagine what the world would be like! Anywhoo, I just thought it was so adorable. I don't get to interact with little kids often, and I had so much fun =)
Ok this blog is uber long, and I don't really have anymore to say. Appalachia's in 5 days! WHOOO!
Comment por favor. Love you all tons.

There are two things that are extremely depressing about this blog. One is that I am the only one who cares enough to comment, and the second is your cheerleader games. They sound really, REALLY, dumb. I agree though, we can learn a lot from kids and their innocence. Good times. I'm so pumped for ASP with your dad. =)
NO, now chris is not the only one to respond for your pathetic excuse for a blog. I'm going to tell the truth tough and tell you that i didn't actually read your blog, i just read the title. im extremely bored, sorry. Anywho,your blogs are special, almost as special as Katie's are. just kidding, they could never be that special. OK im done, and i know, this message had nothing to do with your blog, like i said, im bored.
