Homecoming

Last week was the excitement of Homecoming - volleyball games, pep rallies, & dress up days - culminating in the parade and football game on Friday. The whole town turns out to watch the parade, even though it only lasts about 5 minutes! Don't you love small towns?

Waiting for the parade: Jonathan, Owen & Jackson



Homecoming royalty: Adam, Zach and Lucas; Jill, Amy and Kenzie






Even Larry got a parade entry ready at the last minute. Unfortunately I forgot to snap a picture of Ollie, who was running alongside the motorcycle with "Go B-Cats" spray painted on his sides. He was happily gobbling up candy the whole time.


The senior class float won first prize.


Getting all decked out for the big football game. Katie helped the boys spray their hair and paint their faces.





Victor had an "N" painted on one side of his head and a star on the other. (For North Star School)





Logan drifted over from next door to get in on the fun.




The finished product!

Jonathan eating a Dum Dum sucker from the parade. He insisted they were gumdrops, because he has this book about Morris the Moose who likes gumdrops. It's his favorite book and we have to read it every night.

Your homecoming pictures bring back great memories... It was just so thrilling to have a week of such celebration. You're right. There's nothing like small towns. Darling of Katie getting the boys ready for the game. They DO have school spirit! As usual, the queen candidates are cuties...Amy and her friends! I do enjoy your blog. Love, Bonnie
