Seth's Homecoming Week

This past week has been ThunderRidge High School's Homecoming. Every day there has been some kind of Spirit activity such as Powder Puff flag football, theme dress days, "Field Day", Bonfire, the Homecoming Game, and the Homecoming dance. Seth has really tried to get in the spirit of the week as the following pictures will attest.

The festivities started with Seth asking a girl on his cross country team to the Homecoming dance. He passed her with his shirt off during a practice. Jane did the writing.

Here he is getting ready for practice.

"Western Days" was one of the dress up days. Here is Seth in his rig.

Ever since July Seth has been letting his normally-short hair get a little long so he could sport a mohawk and war paint for Field Day and the Homecoming Parade and game. Here Seth and his friend Chris are giving each other their haircuts. Since they both have to go the dance and church, the sides were kept longer than total buzz.

Seth all decked out for Field Day in his mohawk and war paint, which is a afternoon of different athletic and skills events with the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes all compete. The Seniors killed the other classes this year.

Later that afternoon was the Homecoming Parade. The cross country team traditionally runs without shirts (girls in sports bras). Parade Day weather was rainy/snowy, but that didn't stop the tradition. Allie and her kids came down for the parade, because everyone in the parade throws candy and the kids all got a good bag full when it was over.

Grace and Bryson warmed up after the parade in the spa tub together.

That evening Grandma Jane, Marie, Tessa, Ben and I went to the bonfire, which is held in the back parking lot. They have a 30 foot square concrete pad made especially for the bonfire, which at its peak reaches 50 or 60 feet high. You can easily see it from our house, which is about a mile away from the high school.

While at the bonfire we ran into Seth and Kamila (his Homecoming Dance date).

Saturday was the Homecoming Dance. Seth's group met at the mall for pictures because the restaurant was nearby and the it was 24 degrees and snowing outside. Kamila looked great!
