The Spawn & I were at Disney 2x for field hockey national showcases. These were huge cheer tournament weekends. The two groups of girls would stare each other down walking past one another on the terraces - the field hockey girls covered in mud & sweat, the cheer girls worried their make-up would melt in the sun. Like mixing oil & water.
You think softball parents are seious, check out some of those cheer parents and grandparents - YIKES.
Speaking of hairspray, NASA/NOAA reported a hole in the ozone over Orlando on those two weekends due to the excess hairspray.
Oh so true - was there 3x for the spring HS tourney. Will never forget walking out of there behind a team of dirty, sweaty, sunburnt, ice pack wrapped softball players only to collide with a pack of cheer kids with perfect hair lugging a 4ft trophy.
The not cool part was seeing a bunch of 12 yr olds with navel piercings....
The best part was staring down the "cheer dads" - our DD's were the kids they wish they'd had...
