Homecoming Parade.

I grew up going to a small private school, so all of this Homecoming stuff is new to me! Don't get me wrong, we had Homecoming.....but we didn't have dress up days, parades, pep rallies, festivals, football, and yes I could keep going! It has been a very hectic, but FUN week here in New Home!

I am going to try to show you part of the parade yesterday. It was a lot bigger of a deal than I expected! Here is our sweetheart all ready to go!

Getting Pre-K situated.

And they're off! All of the Lynn County Sheriff vehicles were in the parade, well I hope not ALL of them.....but there were at least four here for this.

Digging for candy to throw.

She hollared "Momma, catch!" and threw me a tootsie roll....does she know me and my love of chocolate or what?!

I am not posting ALL of the parade stuff, but here are a few of the other cute floats. In case you were wondering the New Home Leopards play the Cotton Center Elks for their Homecoming game, and it was an awesome game that they won easily by shutting them down in the 3rd quarter by the 45 point rule! Final score: 72-24 with over 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

This is the float that won. Of course, I thought Pre-K should win.....but dibs to the class that did. It was cute!

Our awesome neighbor, as Brooke calls him "Mr. Wendell".

And our awesome neighborette driving her Mustang "Ms. Peggy".

It was a very fun filled week. Topped off with a great game! It makes me glad to be here and look forward to more community fun!
