As part of the homecoming tail gate party, a parade is involved. This year, Mandy, being the AMAZING Alumni she is, got all of us into the spirit and got all of us to participate. Lucky for me, she got busy doing something important, and so I got to get Nathan and Molly situated in the back of the truck for the "alumni float" which had all of the kids (and me) of the alumni in it. It was fun, and SO cute to watch all the little girls blow kisses at everyone and wave. The kids also had a blast throwing the candy... and probably had MORE fun eating the candy. I was very disappointed when the Alumni float didn't win.
In riding in this parade and seeing all of the chaos and all the other floats, I had a little bit of a sad moment missing my Kissy. Remember when we had to put together that Grinch Christmas float for ASL? And we had meat loaf and mashed potatoes and baked beans? and it was my first time having baked beans on my mashed potatoes (which was a one time thing ps) I had a little ache in my heart for the high school years!
After the parade we headed over for the "Pep Rally"! Which, I have to admit, was actually pretty good! I was STUNNED at how great the cheerleaders were! The dance team was lacking and drill was not quite on their A game, but the cheerleaders stole the show!
This is the drill team, I was real excited to see them, so I took a picture for you to say how great they were... but now I am wishing I had taken a picture of the cheerleaders since I only had a good story about them!
I still sometimes miss the high school days. They were great!
