Jeff and I returned from our east Texas road trip merely hours before the Homecoming festivities would begin for Connor and his friends at Katy High School. While we were away, Connor and Marie had exchanged their mum and garter with one another and then wore them to school as per tradition on game day, Friday. Even though we missed the exchange, my parents and Marie's parents had taken some photos and shared them with us. So fun!
We checked in with Connor throughout the day, and I think he enjoyed the festive atmosphere, pep rally, and mum/garter attire during the school day. Homecoming is a BIG deal and the school takes the traditions very seriously, to the point that they offer a mum hospital for kids who need a quick fix throughout the day. Hilarious!
The Homecoming football game was held later that evening at Legacy Stadium, and we were excited to be able to attend the game with my parents. It was sure to be an exciting game with Katy playing their cross town rivals, Tompkins. Connor donned his "Beat Tompkins" shirt with his Homecoming garter, and we were off to Legacy Stadium for the big game.
Connor's date, Marie, planned to meet us at the game due to her late theater practice that day. The atmosphere inside the stadium was exciting and festive. It had been years and years since I had attended a high school football game, and it was so much fun to witness the school spirit and enjoy the perks of the incredible stadium facilities in person. We all had such a great time cheering on our Katy Tigers to a big win while enjoying the high school Homecoming experience. What a great start to Homecoming weekend!
