We left and met the bus on Wednesday, it was a good trip, a little snow over Donner pass but we had a good bus driver and made it safely there about 10:30pm. We beat all the moms that were driving down (because it would be faster in there cars). All the girls on the bus were great, we had 42 girls ages 8 to 14, and they were quiet and respectful. (only 2 Ravens and myself, the rest were Patriots, our sister team) we watched movies, and it was nice. Got to the hotel after waiting for parents the girls got to bed about midnight. On Thanksgiving the girls were allowed to sleep in, (my 3 were up at 8am) so we met the team for breakfast and then went to practice. None of the girls wanted to practice and emotions were flying high. We have 10 girls ages 8-11 so you can imagine. Got back to the hotel, and the girls all went swimming. they were having so much fun, it was good to see them play and enjoy themselves. We got ready for dinner, and had Thanksgiving in San Jose. It was okay. I've had better food(and less expensive, but I'm used to casino buffets) and they did run out of food which disapointed alot of people. $30 buffet you wold think you would be full when you left.

Went back to the hotel and all the girls were in there PJ's and running around, we put hair up in curlers and then found one of our girls had lice. Not fun all the bedding and towels in all 3 rooms had to be changed, She went to stay in her mom's room to protect the girl from it spreading. (No one else has it, so I think we are good). Got the girls in bed abot 10:30pm, busyFriday ahead.

The alarm went off at 6 am, we were meeting at 6:30 for breakfast and hair to be finished. Needed to get on the bus at 8 am, that means being checked out of the hotel. Got it all done, barely, lol Got to competition and had a little bit of time to practice after check in. The girlsdid good at practice, all focased and smiling. Once they hit the mat, they did okay, didn't get one star up and dropped a stunt. I felt so bad for them. They handled it okay and did keep there sprit up. When awards were called, they weren't suprised they took second cuz they knew what they did wrong.

The other girls left after that, to go home with there parents, Chey and I stayed and watched the afternoon preformances. Chey was crying with the Patriot girls when they came out and didn't hit there routine. They don't get to go to FL.

We then boarded the bus and came home, It was a sad bus ride home, no on was happy execpt Chey and she was trying to not be excited cuz she was the only one going to FL.

We got in about 9:30 last night and by the time we got home I was too tired to be on the computer. wil try to get the pics off my phone and posted soon.
