Big Game

Ok, so football is a BIG deal in Texas! I can't believe all they do for them. This weekend our boys got to play against the Wild Dawgz in the SMU stadium. Talk about a big deal. During their practice Friday night, all the mom's decorated the cars with streamers and window paint. The next morning we all met so that we could caravan to the game in a Red Dragon parade. The teams even had their names up on the score board! Geoff got to be down on the field for Alex's game since he is on the football board (the rest of the day he spent up in the box keeping score). Most teams also have little cheerleader squads, however the Red Dragons don't, so Hayley and her friends got to go on the field to hold the banner for the team to break through at halftime. They then let them stay on the side of the field and cheer. (All her friends are cheerleaders, or so she thinks, and so she has learned quite the cheer repertoire and is actually quite good) Each team sales team memorabilia for parents to wear, yard signs, car stickers, hats, etc...So I had to include me in a picture supporting Alex in my #8 Gillespie shirt. The Dragons won there game at SMU (20 to 12) and got their picture taken on center field after the game. To celebrate the team went out to Fudruckers and took up half the restaurant. What a fun season Alex is having and it is only half over. Go Red Dragons!

PS I couldn't resist the big screen, what better way to watch football, right?
