Homecoming 2010

This past Friday, our local high school celebrated homecoming. Because I work from home now I was able to go to the parade and see Red riding with his team. He had to be at the high school by 2 even though the parade didn't start until 3. He and his friends were so excited about riding in the parade armed with candy to throw.

The kids all lined up ready to see the parade. Lil' Mama and her friends were excited to be there but more excited that they got out of school early.



And of course Red and his team were the last ones in the parade. He threw candy at me because I was walking beside them trying to take pictures.



The next day was our homecoming game. Each age group has two teams so Saturday for homecoming we play each other. They called each kid by name as they ran out onto the field.

They even had a homecoming court that consisted of the cheerleaders and each had an escort. It was cute. Some girls would walk up leading their escort instead of the other way around. One girl had her daddy on one side and he granddaddy on the other. That choked me up for a minute when it dawned on me that both of my girls will never be able to do that.

We played hard and won 18-0. The boys were so excited!



Only two more games left for the year. If we can win both of these we can make the playoffs. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping we make it.
