The day has finally come - their first Upward cheerleading and basketball games! The morning was so long - we were there from 8:45 to 12:30, but it was so worth it. We have never done Upward before, so the first thing that happened was a nice surprise. The church brings out a little tunnel with balloons and smoke, etc, and each of the teams, including cheerleaders, are introduced one at a time. The kids ran through the tunnel and then stand and cheer for the next team - it was so exciting! Rachel's cheer game was first, so enjoyed watching her cheer - she just lit up she was having so much fun. I think she has found her element! Jason's friend, Thomas, played at 10:00, so we watched his game in between our games. We enjoyed getting to visit with the Bonifields for a couple of hours. Jason's game was at 11:00, and we really enjoyed getting to watch him play again. He starting off with a great shot, then went cold, and then starting lighting them up again toward the end. They didn't keep score, and honestly, I am glad. The other team scored alot at first, and then our team got it together and started scoring, so I think it was pretty even. After we could finally leave, we decided to stop at Maggie Moo's for ice cream. We hadn't been there in a while. They were out of my non pareils, but I settled for mint chocolate chip. After getting home, we watched the NFL playoffs, and enjoyed a nice dinner at home.
