Reese and Maddie... waiting to perform (playing their ds to occupy their time!)
Goodie bags for a birthday girl on the team.After the competition on Saturday, we went to the Tower of the Americas at Hemisphere park... it was RIGHT outside the door of the convention center. (We were at the convention center from 10-7...long day!!!)
It was a BEAUTIFUL day! Too bad we were inside all day! Nonnie and Kenzie explored all around the convention before Maddie's first performance (I didn't get any pictures of Kenzie out here... she wouldn't cooperate!)
Competition: Day 2
Their cheer team got 3rd place... they did an awesome job, but we had some really good competition.
Nastia Liukin was signing autographs at the competition... she signed Maddie's trophy!
Little Sisters need things to do on these long days!
Maddie opted for a new ds game...smart girl!
Kenzie was chillin' with her pig watching a movie...another LONG day!
Nastia Liukin took pictures with all the National Champion teams...

But, Kenzie is a proud owner of this little piggie!

Showing off their HUGE jackets... they could have ordered a smaller size, but they wanted to get them right then of course!
After 2 longs days of being trapped inside (Saturday 10-7, Sunday 10-8), we took the girls to the Rainforest Cafe. I know we should have just headed home, but we hadn't eaten a real meal all day and the girls really didn't get to do much other than the competition. I knew they would sleep all the way home anyway...it was me that had to stay awake!

I wish I had taken pictures of all 4 girls piled up in 2 umbrella strollers plus all of our bags! I am surprised the wheels didn't crater! We were a sight, but those strollers were a life saver with all the walking we had to do!!

Look at that face!
She touched the elephants trunk, and it looked at her and moved!
The girls had fun, and I was glad we decided to go there... even though it was 10:03 when we loaded up the car and pulled out of the hotel parking lot!! It was 2:30 in the morning by the time I dropped Nonnie off in Clifton and got home.
