This weekend has been busy but fun. We drove to Des Moines, and although I had a huge issue trying to find a place to park, we eventually landed at the Wells Fargo Arena to watch my niece cheer between the boys basketball championship games. She is part of a select team of girls chosen across the state who are chosen by their skills and personality. Lauren shined and all the girls that created this year’s Iowa All State Cheer Team rocked. I was very much impressed.

I loved seeing the sophisticated moves of the cheerleaders. It was a lot like watching a marching band performance. They literally had girls lifted in the air while moving past each other as though they were chariots. I do not think I can accurately describe this, but believe me, it was fantastic.

I also loved being able to see my family!

Before leaving the event, we all had a group photo taken.

Obviously, Lauren was well-supported!
