Wow! Homecoming was a BIG deal! Wednesday was the long awaited parade we had heard about for years! Tradition was for the schools to let out at noon and meet downtown to either watch or be a part of the homecoming parade. This year, they broke tradition and the parade was in the evening. Our little town is growing and changing! And the parade....
It was greatness! First we heard sirens, horns, and cheering. Then around the corner came a firetruck. Next, the band and a convertable with administrators waving! But aside from the decorated floats, the next sights to behold in pure small town form were 4 Mac trucks pulling football players and cheerleaders on flatbed trailers...Varsity, JV, Freshman, Junior High! Greatness! Did I mention I just love our town!!! LOVE IT! Lots of little floats followed the big Mack trucks with tackle/flag football teams and their cheerleaders on board. Lily was on one of the floats decked out in her very large mum throwing candy,cheering, and sooooo excited!!!
On Friday, a pep rally at Lily's school with high school cheerleaders, kept the kiddos in the homecoming spirit before the big game! Cade and I went up to watch the excitement. He ran immediately to sit with Lily through the entire pep rally! He loved sitting with the "big kids!" So fun to watch the school spirit!
Go Eagles Go !!!
