After practicing all week, Julia joined the high school cheerleaders at the varsity football game this evening to Cheer For A Cure. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her so excited.

Julia and Hailey

She had so much fun with her friends. The girl you see her with here is pretty much her best friend from school. I know this, because Julia actually knows her name. And they play Unicorns together every day at recess. What is “Unicorns,” you ask? According to Julia, it’s AWESOME. That’s all I know.

Biddy Cheerleaders

The high school cheerleaders were really incredible with the little girls. They were sweet and attentive and patient and behaved like good role models. Their mothers should be proud of them.

Julia and some girls from her biddy cheerleading group

The biddy cheerleaders helped make the tunnel for the football players to run through and then cheered for the first half of the game. They also performed a pregame dance.

(I loved that little cheerleading kick Julia did at the end. She was really, really into the whole thing.)

It was a great night, in spite of the rain. The high school marching band played Blitzkrieg Bop during the pregame show. And at half-time, the majorette twirled a FIRE baton – that’s a baton that someone has SET ON FIRE – while they played Hot N Cold as made famous by Katy Perry which was the double-freaking butt kick.

See?

Twirling a fire baton

FIRE! And look!

Throwing a fire baton

SHE THROWS IT IN THE AIR AND CATCHES IT.

Maybe I’m easily impressed, but I gave the child a standing ovation. That was FIRE, DUDE.

Oh, and there was football.

kick-off

I couldn’t tell you who won except that my family doctor won an autographed football.

    [...] Julia did the Biddy Cheerleading thing again, which was pretty much like last time except instead of football it was basketball and instead of cheering for a cure, they were cheering for a children’s hospital and Julia had a stye. (STILL. WITH THE STYE. IT WILL NOT DIE!!!! They may have to cut it out for goodness sake.) [...]
