Friday Night Lights

For the last few Friday nights we have been sitting in the bleachers cheering on the Lapeer West football team. It has been so much fun going to the games!!! We don't know very many of the players, but Jessica's boyfriend, Preston, plays for the team! He is the center linebacker and is really good. I guess he has been playing varsity since 9th grade. It is so much fun getting bundled up, taking a bunch of goodies and blankets, and going to cheer on the team. I never really experienced the whole 'friday night football' thing because I went to a small, private high school and they didn't even have a football team. Halle got a Lapeer West football jersey with Preston's last name and number on the back of it. She wore it to school this past Friday because that's what the older girls do. Parker got a long sleeve tee with Preston's last name and number on it. He looks adorable in it. We have some West hats and t-shirts to wear too, so our whole family is decked out for the games!!!!
Parker and I before the game against Oxford.
It was down pouring the entire way to the game and we figured we were going to get soaked. As soon as we got to the stadium, the rain quit and not a drop fell during the game. It ended up being a beautiful night!!!

Ok- this is honestly a real picture from Brad's camera!!
This was last night's game against Brandon. It is a brand new stadium!!! It was unbelievably nice!! and to make things even better, it was a gorgeous night out!!! A perfect night for football! Plus, Lapeer won 41-13 and Preston had an interception!!!!
Here we are cheering on the Panthers
Parker was wiped out when we got home. He didn't even wake up while we were changing him into his pjs.
So, needless to say, we are really enjoying the football season this year. I can't say I know all the rules of football or that I am totally a football fanatic, but I really enjoy going to the games. We look forward to the rest of the season. Go Panthers!!!
