Friday night was elementary school night at the High School football game, so we decided to take the girls to their first game. The night was beautiful, Ike hadn't showed up yet, and the home side is in the shade so it was perfect at kickoff. If you were wearing an elementary school t-shirt, then you got a hot dog, bag of cookies and a drink for a buck (what a deal!).
The only problem is we looked in 5 different places for the start time and 2 said 7p (including the parking signs at the HS and the school handout that Abby got) and the rest said 7:30p (including the paper and school website). We went with the 7p time, getting there around 6:35p, and then realized we were early. This made it real easy to grab the food, but it meant a LONG wait until the game started. Emma was already asking to go home about 10 minutes before kickoff. Lucky for us, FloMo played well and got out to a huge lead. Brandon Colquitt (a former student of Jen's) to Collin Ashley is money every time.
Both Jen and I wanted to make it to half time to see the bands and drill teams take the field (since I was in band and Jen was in drill team). This was a stretch for Emma but we managed mostly by checking out the nearly full moon in the sky, checking out the jr cheerleaders, and getting to cheer for a lot of touchdowns. I think Abby could've lasted the entire game. It was nice to see a band that finally got some brains and had their students march in khaki shorts (the visiting team still had the typical 'band' uniforms). Whoever thought that high school kids need to sweat to death in 'not so hip' looking uniforms was just nuts.
We headed out before the 3rd quarter started and FloMo won 37-0. It is neat to see that 'Friday Night Lights' is still alive and well in Texas, and we had a lot of fun. It looks to be a great year for FloMo!

We are so sad we had to miss it this year. Kaitlyn's fever prevented it - although she insisted she could still make it (she couldn't make it to school, yet the football game could not be missed).
Maybe next year.
Glad you had fun!
That looked like so much fun. I'd like to make it to a game this year.
