Photos from our first competition

Rebekah was very excited that the first competition of the season fell on her 8th birthday. She was hoping that would bring her team good luck. We had to get up at 6 in the morning and drive to San Clemente to meet at a Mcdonalds to do make-up. From there we drove to the Anaheim Convention Center where they competed at a USA Competition. Her team was in the large Co-ed Open Show Level 3. For those new to cheer, like me that is a very competitive level, it is one of the harder levels because level 4s will drop down and compete.

It took three people to do Rebekah's make-up for the competition. They pretty much look like hookers when they are done. Right before they go on they done the Bright Red lipstick as well.Here is the finished look. It is very strange to see my sweet little girl looking like that. I guess I will finally learn how to do make-up:) All in all it was a great day. Rebekah's team took 2nd place, out of three teams. Overall they did very well. Rebekah was exhausted afterwards and we had a team lunch to go to. After the lunch we got in the car to drive home. Rebekah passed out not long after we hit the freeway and slept the entire way home. We have 1 month off now before we have another full weekend of competitions and exhibitions.
