Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Homecoming 2014

Homecoming Dance 2014
Roasted Tomato Blender Soup

Another Homecoming Week is over! It’s a lot of fun, but I don’t think I could do it for any more than a week. With cross country practice, hall decorating, and airband practice I get to school at 7:30 and don’t get home until 10:30 at night! Here are a few pics from the week – I’ll do a separate post with pictures from the dance!

Monday – Color Day & Powderpuff Game

The sophomores were green! Every year there’s a powderpuff game where the girls play football and the boys coach. We beat the freshmen 28-14! We made up for losing last year!

Tuesday – Twin Day

Wednesday – College Day

Thursday – Theme Day & Hall Viewing

The theme this year was Musicals and the sophomores picked Footloose! For theme day we wore flannels like they did in the movie.

And then cleanup where we rip down everything we worked so hard on!

Friday – Game Day

At school on Friday each class performs an airband which relates to your hall’s theme. Here is our dance! I’m in the black tank top and shorts and then the pink dress at the end!

 

 

 

 

Later that night was the game!

I would post pictures from the dance but that would be a little too many pictures for one post so I’ll do another one later this week πŸ™‚ While Homecoming was a ton of fun I have missed reading blogs and I’m looking forward to catching up – I feel like I haven’t talked to any bloggers in forever!

Enjoy your Sunday!
