Homecoming

THE PARADE

The kids had their Homecoming Game and Dance last week. On Friday was a parade by all the classes. Recruit 1 and Recruit 2 both worked on the floats and then road on them. Recruit 2 wasn't real thrilled with the Costume he wore, but was a great sport about it. The classes all chose a decade. The Sophmore class was the 90's. All the floats were great. The kids really worked hard. (And some of their parents...)

Below is Recruit 2. I hated he had to be "masked". He's too cute to cover up!

Here's Recruit 1 and the Senior Class float. She was greaser chick. Obviously they had the 50's. They were swing dancing on their float.

THE DANCE

So Recruit 2 did not have a date. Apparently he is totally okay with that as are we because he's not 16 yet. So who was he going to go with and how was he going to get there? I was at Recruit 4's football game in another town. The Marine took the pictures.

Well his sister of course!

They went to dinner with Recruit 1's date and some other friends.

Recruit 1 invited another sophmore and her brother (not pictured) to go to dinner with them and her best friend MM joined them as well (on right). MM's boyfriend couldn't go to the dance with them because the administration said only students from the highschool or former students could attend the dance. MM was NOT happy. So he met them for dinner.

Here is Recruit 1 and her date. Yes, it's his traditional fall marching season mohawk. He's on the drum line and is a fun guy. He even matched her dress with the pink and black.

Here they are leaving for the dance. Notice only girls in the jeep? MM is very brave, she was the first outside of a parent to really drive all alone with Recruit 1 in the jeep. Since Recruit 1 just got her license she insisted on driving.

All the girls went in 1 car and Recruit 1's date drove the Recruit 2 and the other girl's little brother in his car!
