Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Homecoming Week

Hey everyone! It has been way too long! I have an excuse though – it was Homecoming Week! In other words, I was at school from 7:30 am to 10 at night every single day. It was very stressful, but a lot of fun too! This is a recap of the whole week. Get ready for a whole bunch of pictures!

Sunday: Powderpuff Game

Powderpuff is where the boys are the coaches and the girls are the players of a football game. The freshmen play the sophomores and the juniors play the seniors. Even though we (freshmen) lost, it was still a lot of fun!

Monday: Color Day

Each grade is assigned a color to wear on Monday. It’s tradition that the freshmen are always pink.

I tie-dyed tshirts with my friends! It’s supposed to spell “freshmen” …

Baseball player! Btw, the Tigers won last night so they are the ALDS champs!!

Wednesday: Wacky Wednesday

Probably my favorite outfit of the whole week.

Thursday: Theme Day

Each grade also had a theme. The themes this year were states and the freshmen had Michigan. So I dressed as a yooper, which is someone from the Upper Peninsula!

Friday: Purple & White Day

Reppin’ the school colors! 

Then Friday night was the football game. Since I was elected the freshmen representative, I walked across the field at halftime!

My team lost but the school still had great spirit!

Saturday is the day of the big dance! I know I taunted you awhile back… so here’s my dress!

    AW, this is making me so nostalgic about high school/homecoming week! I think homecoming was my favorite dance because there are so many activities leading up to the event. You look adorable, (Wednesday’s outfit is my fav) and I hope you had an awesome time at Homecoming!

    I love how much spirit you have!!! You totally went all out. I tried to dress up as much as I could for my spirit days too, but it was nothing compared to you. πŸ˜‰ You definitely deserved to be freshman representative!

    And that dress is gorgeous and looks gorgeous on you! Have a great week girl! πŸ˜€
