Trio's First High School Football Game

We took the kiddos to their very first high school football game tonight. We went to the Melissa game which was nice for the simple fact that it took us a very short time to get there. :) It was also nice because it provided me a sense of community and unity to other residents in our small town.

Waiting for the game to start.
We got there early and were able to take a few pictures before the game started. We then found our seats and of course, I had to sit close to the band. After we got settled in our seats, off I went to the concession stands to get us some good ole high school football concession food. Yum! Hotdogs, nachos, frito pie, popcorn and candy was our dinner. This huge box is what they put my food in to carry. Ha!


The kids were a little nervous and whiny the first time the crowd cheered as the band played after scoring a touchdown but they quickly got over that and began to enjoy the night more and more. They enjoyed watching the cheerleaders, the mascot, the band and Tyler really enjoyed his popcorn - eating it for almost 2 hours straight.

Of course, we couldn't stay for the whole thing but wanted to stay until half time was over because we figured they would really enjoy the half time show and sure enough they did, clapping and cheering with excitement.


Although, if I had my choice, I would have chosen a RC game to be the kid's first experience of high school football, but we gladly settled with Melissa instead. We all had a great time and I look forward to many more family events like this.
