Friday night football fun

We took the girls to Harding's first home football game of the year on Friday night. The girls had fun as the home crowd all wore black for a "black out". Coolest time I have seen this work was the University of Georgia with their black jerseys and the crowd obliged as well. The girls wanted to participate so on to Target to purchse the $4 plain black t-shirt. We all had different reasons for wanting to attend the game. Gary and I, of course, are ready for football (of any kind) to start and enjoyed seeing the action (even if Harding has a long road ahead of them!!). Anna wanted to see her friends and Caroline wanted to eat the food! The girls got to be on the field before the game as the players ran out through the lion tunnel. Anna slid down the hill with her friends over and over on cardboard boxes and Caroline enjoyed some fun food and scored a megaphone from the cheerleaders after their halftime routine. Even though we chalked up a loss, we enjoyed seeing so many of our Harding family friends. I'm not used to seeing many high school teams win....I honestly don't think White Station won once (even homecoming against Overton) when I was in high school!!
