Friday Night Lights

We went to our first high school football game on September 2nd at Sydna's high school.

I believe it was their third football game of the season and they were undefeated. The football team they played against was also undefeated so everyone was very excited.

The afternoon was a bit warm but thankfully there was a light breeze. It was still during monsoon season so we were hoping it wouldn't rain on us. I don't mind rain ... I love rain but getting drenched and Riley getting wet isn't my idea of fun. Thankfully it did not rain. I do love that the clouds stuck around. They make some of the most beautiful backgrounds.

When we arrived at the school the ticket line was very long ... I was worried about not finding available bleachers that would accomodate us along with Riley's stroller.

Wow! What great view ...

so awesome to be able to see mountains in the distance with some clouds and a lavender sky. High school football games are so fun. Reminds me of my very own high school football games. Fun times.

With my little active meatball.

Now Jacob's turn to keep the little guy entertained. He just likes to be bounced around and play "pat-a-cake" and "If you're happy and you know it". Makes him laugh.

We were entertained by the high school band during halftime. Riley was listening very intently.

At the end these guys ran in a circle and one of them stood in the middle of it and threw his trumpet high into the air ... good thing he's practice this move ... glad he caught it. Saved himself the embarrassment.

From the beginning up until the 3rd quarter we thought Sydna's school was going to lose. The other team had points on the board and we didn't so everyone was a little antsy. (Guess I should mention or if you didn't catch it already that Sydna's school football team are the ones wearing black. They are the Mountain View Lions.)

Still trying to keep him busy. He did like to sit on the bleacher ... made him feel like a big boy I guess. It's very challenging trying to take a clear picture of a moving/active baby. Sorry for the blur in some of these.

This was the final score.

Sydna's school won ... yeah!

Celebrating their win ... and shaking hands with the opposing team, showing good sportsmanship.

They managed to win one more game after this one but ended up losing the rest.

Oh well, it was fun while the good times lasted.
