Snacks to cheer you up!
It reminded me of my Jr. High cheer camp experience. I was about 12 years old and the camp would be held at the campus of Ole Miss in Oxford, Miss. It would last three days and we would be housed in the dorm rooms. I had never been away from home except at Granny's or Aunt Ann's house. I packed up all the clothing, toiletries and of course snacks I would need for the three days. My mom saw me off as I climbed into the Greyhound bus. When we arrived at the campus, the girls from our school were housed in separate rooms to encourage making new friends. We were given our schedules and herded off to our rooms. We all unpacked and then hurried to the cafeteria for our evening meal. After the meal, we were given a group peptalk and then it was lights out. That's when I started to miss Mama. I cried so hard no one could get any sleep, the counselors finally let me call home. The only way I would stop crying was if Mama promised to come pick me up. I packed my belongings and waited in the lobby for the whole five hours it took for her to get to Mississippi from Louisiana. I ate most of the snacks while I was waiting for her to get there. I was so happy to see my Mama, I "cheered" all the way home! Here are some good snack recipes for your cheerleaders!
