Nationals - in Salt Lake City

I don't get it, but there is a lot of "National" competitions in cheer.  I know the Worlds in the absolute top, but I don't get all the other ones.  

Whatever the difference is, we competed.  

And we won!  This is a JACKET and medal competition, so it's a big deal. 

Liv and one of her coaches, Lexi.

This is the competition that fatefully we lost Addison's self purchased iTouch at last year.  Big sad learning lesson, but a good one.  This year we lost nothing - just had a team member with the flu throw up on stage - something to remember :) 

I spent 11 hours at the Salt Palace between the two girls, went to dinner with my Grandma and brought home two National Champions!
