It was really neat to see some of the festivities this year now that the older boys are both attending the same high school. On Wednesday evening they kicked off the weekend with a homecoming parade through the streets near the school. Part of the parade tradition is that the folks on the float throw candy to the spectators. Connor was excited about collecting his share of the candy, but he got pelted in the forehead with the first toss! He ended up with a bruise for the next few days but didn't mind since he loved all the parade candy.
Here's the float that Jeff and the boys worked on for the varsity water polo team. It was a pirate ship:
Happy spectators.
The homecoming festivities concluded for the week with a homecoming dance. Collin went with his on-again girlfriend, Jillian. They were kind enough to let me take their picture.
Oh how fun! I remember homecoming being so fun! Glad y'all had fun at the parade despite the pelted candy toss. Poor Connor!! Fun times!
ReplyDeleteParades and candy tosses? How fun is that?! Takes me back to the days of PTHS bonfire. I have to say Jeff and the boys did a rockin' job on that pirate ship float. Glad Connor managed to get his fair share of the candy, especially since he paid such a high price with a bonk on the noggin'.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the mum corsages of Homecomings gone by... =)
ReplyDeleteHomecoming is always exciting for a teenager! Collin looked so nice! I'm sure it was especially nice to have their dad help with the float! Thanks for sharing!!! Julie
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I loved all of those events in high school. Homecoming, z-club formal, senior party, etc. Fun times! So glad you guys got to share it with the boys.
