i am way too old for this!

we've been having mega sports camp at our church this week. this is the 4th or 5th year that we do this instead of vbs, and it's always a great thing. the sports that we have offered this year are basketball, soccer, and cheerleading. i found out today that i am NOT a cheerleader.

the girls heading up the cheerleading section are so wonderful. today they had the cheerleaders play a game where they had to find a partner. when the leader yelled "go!" all of the girls ran around screaming and yelling, and then the leader would call out a certain action they had to do with their partner. because the leaders needed some extra girls, kelli and i helped out a little.

oh my word.

first of all, these girls are cute, but holy cow! they have incredibly high-pitched screams when they're running around. then, my partner was an adorable little girl who was a bit on the solid side. one of th actions was that the smaller girl ride piggy back on her partner. um...i couldn't stand up with her! i basically just stayed on my knees when she got on my back. i felt so bad. but it was still kind of funny-in a slightly painful way.

so tomorrow if they ask for volunteers, i won't be around. i'm sure there's work to do somewhere else!

Oh my goodness!! I was laughing at your story so hard I almost missed Michael Phelps swimming in the Olympics! Too bad about your partner...
