this will be our last homecoming
{high school wise at least}
{high school wise at least}
. . .
two different children
two different experiences
Allyson could have cared less - her attendance record was spotty.
Ryan on the other hand hasn't missed one. (dance wise, and a good many games)
For both - it has been more about fun with friends and less about having a date.
And for both - there has been been a token homecoming parade.
Allyson's Senior year was the first time in a very long time that they had a parade, and due to either weather or something else, there has not been a parade since.
Not until this year
- Ryan's Senior year.
I didn't manage to get to the parade early enough
so I settled for some photos at the finale.

The candy, beauty queen waves, and smiles were still flying.

love these girls

I would crown them both Queen if it were up to me.
. . . then there is this crazy group!
(the one in the middle may or may not belong to me)
the footballers
- he kept giving me the thumbs up - that, or his mom was standing right behind me.
(#awkward moments)
and the surrounding elementary schools making a contribution
(can I get a woot! woot! for the Martha Mustangs - alma mater of my kiddos)
Long gone are the days when I proudly walked by one of my kid's float,
and in no time, standing on the side eager to search out and photograph familiar faces has passed as well.
I never imagined how much I would miss it this little ritual when it was over.
On the plus side - we do have a cousin's kid coming up in the ranks - so, well, there is that!
Really enjoyed this, ah those were the days !
ReplyDeleteLol-hmmmm I think the one in the middle is having a moment!!!!! Love this-as always Nicki

ReplyDeleteI love all the balloons in the car. Looks like someone had a good time. :)
I was never invited to any proms etc. during high school.... sigh...
ReplyDeleteOh I do remember those days....and how much fun everything was. You captured the fun again with these photos!!
ReplyDeleteI do miss miss these times. You capture some great photos indeed..

My Senior could care less about "silly high school events" and it makes me sad...cause I care! Hopefully he won't regret not caring when he gets older. Loved your pictures!
