Cheering with Gabi Butler

Last Friday was quite a day.  We got the house power washed and suddenly there was water in the basement!

We got it to stop and I got water remediation people to come quickly.  

What a mess!

The culprit!

In less than 2 weeks, they reopened 95.  

A fire engine went across with all the mascots.  

So fun!

That afternoon, Ariel and I went on an adventure with Lynde and Fionna.  We drove about an hour away to go to a cheer clinic with Gabi Butler from the Netflix show Cheer.  She's as close as there is to a famous cheerleader.  We stopped for a quick dinner.  

Then we made it.  

Gabi's mom was selling clothes.  

The girls lined up.  

There is Gabi!

Gabi gave them a pep talk.  

Then they stretched.  

Ariel flew!

The pros showed the girls things they could try.  It was amazing watching Gabi fly.

Ariel had a moment when she got really nervous.  She needed pep talks from me, Lynde, and the cheerleaders.  

Then she was ready to go!

Ariel was great!

Fionna did awesome too.

The happy girls.

Then it was a time for a group shot.

Gabi is so tiny!  We were glad to finally meet her.  

We got ice cream on the way home.  

Of course Fionna slept over.  Have a great weekend!
