After cheer camp, we stayed in Cincinnati for an extra day.  We were joined by Sydney's friend, Molly, and by Amy's friend and teammate, Hope.  We spent the night at Great Wolf Lodge (hotel and indoor water park), then we spent all of the next day at King's Island (amusement park).

Middle School Cheer Camp

After almost a year, we finally have decided to update our blog.  Sorry for the absence...Christy is more interested in Facebook, so the blog responsibility has fallen to John.  Here are some pix from the girls' recent cheer camp in Cincinnati.  They are finally on the same team!  John and Christy are soooo excited.

Happy Halloween!  Amy was monster and Sydney was a 80's Diva!

Seniors Team performing.

Syd's first cheer competition of the season for her 2 teams. They did a great job performing.

After the wedding, we went up to Memphis to meet see more family. We got to visit with the TN Michauds, plus meet the newest addition to the Carlisle clan...Tate!


























Little Miss Ensley had a blast playing with her cousins.

June was a very busy month for traveling. Right after school was out, the girls and I headed down to MS to see cousin Jordan get married.

Just goofing around in the front yard on a sunny spring day.

Today we attended our first Cincinnati Reds game of the season (vs the Houston Astros).  We had perfect weather:  70 degrees and sunny.  We scored some premium seats...first row near first base.  We could almost touch Sydney's favorite player, Joey Votto.  In fact, we were so close, we got to see a fan a few seats away get beaned in the face with an errant throw.  Lot's of blood - Cincinnati Reds color, of course.  Unfortunately, the Reds lost their first game of the season (they were 5-0 prior to the game).
