The first weekend in March we headed to Orlando for, you guessed it, a cheer competition! The gym had a send off where each team performed for friends and family. Sof was lucky to have her best buddies come.
Then we were off on our adventure! First stop was Leos in the airport and then boarded the plane!
The first day there the girls had a pool party. Lexi and her friends spent the whole time in the hot tub while Sof spent the afternoon stunting in the pool.
That night we went to Epcot with Sof while Lexi went with her friends to Hollywood Studios.
The next day was our first competition day. Sof was earlier in the morning. Lee had mentioned that one of her friend’s granddaughters was competing there too. She wanted to come see Sof perform and thought maybe she would be able to meet up with her friend. She had no idea what team she was on though. After a few questions back and forth we realized she was actually on Sof’s team! Small world!
We had some time in the afternoon to chill out at the hotel. Sof spent her time cheering along to YouTube routines.
Then it was back to ESPN for Lexi.
They had an awesome tumbling save(one of our littlest girls grabbed the hand of a girl that was about to fall after her full) and we ended up hitting zero! The video of the save actually went viral days later. It was their 15 minutes of fame! In the cheer world anyway!
The next day both girls performed again. Sof was up first.
Another zero pin, this time for Sof!
Sof was able to swim since her competition was done. I was so glad, because let me tell you it is a LONG day.
Lexi competed again, and did a great job.
That evening we headed to Magic Kingdom. It was extended hours and we had no intention on staying the whole time, but time flies when you’re standing in line you’re having fun and we closed the place down!
It was freezing! We were marginally prepared for it, but toughed it out!
The next day our flight left around 6pm, so we checked out of the hotel and headed to Epcot with no intentions of riding anything. The lines are so ridiculous. We ate hibachi in Japan and continued to shop and eat from there.
Lexi wanted to do pick a pearl in Japan. I admit I gave her a hard time about it being a waste of money. She insisted though, so we let her. She ended up getting the biggest one of the day and the silver color. It was very pretty and I had to eat my words!
Sof really wanted to buy a squishy. She found some in the Japan store, but determined them to be not good squishies. She was super disappointed. We found out they had other ones in China so we headed there. She was so excited when she saw them! Exactly the ones she’d been wanting! She declared she now understood why everything is made in China, because they do it better!
The only thing left was finding dessert in France.
Then it was back to reality in a tough way. Late night flight, then right to school the next morning!
