Homecoming Parade and the BIG Game!

If one word could explain our night it would have to be.....

FUN!

It all started with the parade and, of course, I need to show you in picture form.

Of course, all parades have candy!

The top picture is the freshman volleyball float and the second is the poster that Gabby did up for the float. She did not get to ride with her teammates as she had to march in the band.

Just in case you thought we did not live in a hick town. This guys was nice enough to NOT wash his truck before getting to the parade. Nice EH?!

Did I mention there was candy?

This was one of our favorite floats! The nerd club got together and created a candy throwing machine. Because.........it is easier to create a machine instead of flicking your wrist and tossing. I have to say the crowd LOVED it!

This is Abby's softball float. She is the one on the left - kinda hard to see in the shadows. She was hiding so she would not end up on the blog.

Too late kiddo!

Here is Gabby marching in the band. We finally got her to laugh!!

OK, I swear she was not dressed like this when she sent to school!

She is SO embarrassing!!!


This is my bosses daughter. She was running and getting the "good" candy. Yellow and pink laffy taffy! She is such a good girl!!!!

There was SO MUCH candy that this is what was left on the ground!

We could feed a third world country with all that candy!!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE............

Now, on to the big game.

Here are the boys.
Don't they look GREAT?!

The boys are getting ready to run onto the field.
Yes, that is a giant blow up Eagle.
Parents club gets a bit over zealous don't ya think?!

And they finally hit the field!
This was pretty much the most excitement the whole night.
We lost 21-0.

OUCH!

The other team plays dirty so we ended up with 6 guys carried off the field.
Not to make excuses or anything - they did not play their best game
but really, should helmets pop off when you are playing football????

After the game we invited some folks over for some ice cream.

Now, my tummy doesn't feel good. Thus the reason for posting at 1:40am.

I need to go to bed. There is much to be done tomorrow to beautify Gabby.

NO! Gabby does not have a date :} She is going with a group of girls and guys. One of the guys she finds pretty special but she is only 14 (and a half) gotta get that in :} Dating age is 16 AND a phone call to ask her daddy. Wonder how many takers we will have with that stipulation?!

That is for another post :}

Hope you enjoyed our evening at the parade and football game!!

Hugs!
