Oh, the joys of Homecoming in greater greater Smalltown, USA. This is Middle Child's absolute favorite day of the year by far....because they get to PLAY all day! Pep rally in the morning, working on floats all day, leading up to the parade that afternoon, game that evening, and dance to end the night. The kids did a pretty good job overall decorating their floats this year....even Middle Child's class who decided not to break "tradition" and for the 4th year in a row they threw together their float from 8am until 1pm that day! Of course, they didn't place, but hey, they had fun.
We have the prettiest cheer squad around. Every year. Every single year.
Hannie!
Baby Girl!
Nice tat!
Elder Son and his Senior class pulled out a nice VICTORY
winning 1st place for their float!
Cute firefighters!
The Juniors gave a good run, but our firetruck, with working hose,
was enough to edge our the competition.
9th grade was able to win 3rd with their cute float
EXTINGUISH the FLAME
Such a beauty!
The BOE maybe should have brought in different representatives....
Pretty Girl!
Look! Dexter Roberts (American Idol) was in our Homecoming Parade!
He's a local boy....and wait until you see the post about him to come.
Katie Bug and Baby Girl....sweet smiles.
My father cooks chicken for the Homecoming Dinner, all day long. His brothers came to
help out and watch the parade and game! These men are priceless to me and so many others.
A true legacy to our family.
Uncle Temple and Libby shared some parade candy.
Although it seemed fun at the time,
she wasn't thrilled that he really licked her lollipop.
And decided to keep it for herself!
JC was happy to have a load of candy as well!
This was the first time Libby had seen Baby Girl with her braces.
She was impressed.
