This weekend was Meeker's Homecoming, complete with Parade, BBQ, Kings and Queens, and Football. Finley and the MHS class of 2025 made their float entry. He did say afterward though, "Mom, we never did make it to the water." Maybe we'll start calling them parade trailers instead of parade floats. (Thanks Mandi for all the pictures below)
Liam and Elijah participated in the Punt, Pass and Kick contest too, and Liam got second place. His good buddy John Hampton got first- and they did a great belly bump when they got called up to the front of the pep assembly (no shy boys here).
They made mention of Coach Obie too, although he was a little more reluctant to go to the front of the crowd-- used Finley as his human shield.
We were so excited for the night's game, the team's first league game, and first home game of the season. And yes, they lost- a bummer for fans, coaches and players alike. And aside from the phone call from a community member at 8:00am the following morning with some tips on fumble control- everyone took it in stride. Elijah is the team's helper on the sidelines- here he is during a break from duty (so he was still in good spirits and in full Meeker regalia) and Liam had a great time with his buddies- didn't watch any of the game but he did bother to ask me who won the game (3 days later)
