A few weeks ago we went to Arizona to spend a week with Sean's family. Sean, Darion, Gabriella, & myself flew out there and we were greeted by Sean parents, Gregory & Lori. This was Darion & my first time ever in Arizona. We had so much fun getting to know Sean's family a little more.
Our 1st night in Arizona we spent at Mom & Dad's house in Chandler. Chandler is a very clean newer town. Everything is uniformely landscaped and roughly the same color. I really liked Chandler. Very different from Florida in many many ways.
We had a lot planned to do durring our visit to Arizona. The whole family joined us on our "tourist" trip. Our crew consisted of Sean's Mom & Dad; Older Brother Greg & Wife Shannon & their 2 boys, Nathan & Aiden; Sean's little brother Ian & his fiance Natalie; and the 4 of us. Sean's parents planned everything for us to do. I am thankful for that because I would not have known where to start.

Darion had Cheer Camp on June 25th, 26th, & 27th @ F.W. Springstead High School. There were 5 different squads there. They all practiced stunts the majority of the time and also learned a few new cheers and dances. Darion is a base in her stunt group. It's a lot of hard work!! After experiencing camp she finally agrees that Cheer Leading IS a sport.
Darion made it on the 2009-2010 Cheerleading squad for her school. This will be her 2nd year cheering for the school. Here are a few pics of her new uniform. I will post more as the school year begins...
