Friday Night Lights
Owen and I bundled up on Friday evening for a little bit of local Americana - high school football.
A little hot chocolate pregame tailgate was followed by watching the drummers parade the football players from the school to the field. Owen was mesmerized by the drums, fascinated by the "big players in helmets" and elated by the stamp that the lady at the ticket counter put onto his hand to let him into the game.
Once we made it into the stands, there were a lot of things (other than the game) to keep Owen entertained, including the band, the cheerleaders, the dancing mascot, the pom pom team, and some goofiness that we created ourselves with the camera.
We made it through the first half and the halftime show before calling it an evening. It was a long first half, as the home team was ahead 47-0 when we left.
Altogether, a fun first game for Owen on a seasonally cool but really nice Friday night under the lights.

I should comment that the girls went out to dinner and shopping while the boys were freezing their booties off. P & I have cute new jeans to prove that we got the better end of THAT deal. ;) - B
