Senior Night

 

As mentioned previously, we have enjoyed attending Lexy's Friday night game, and have especially enjoyed seeing her lead the school's band.  This past Friday night was "senior night," a celebration designed to recognize students who will be leaving at the end of the year.  James (my brother) and Melinda (my sister-in-law) were beyond proud to escort Lexy onto the field.

After the pre-game recognition, the team had a challenging game on its hands.  In addition to being a close game (that they ultimately won), the experience is considerably more fun because I have three cousins who play as starters. 

 

Lexy, on the other hand, waits patiently for the second quarter to wrap:

This was the last home game, and I'm sure it will be memorable for years to come:

After the show, we got to visit and play:

These girls love their Uncle James:

 

And they love the whole Friday night scene:

 

So... where was William George during all of these activities? 

 

He was running around like the Crash Bandicoot that he is.  We kept having to close the gate to the field because he wanted to charge the field, and I was certain he would make it to the end zone.  Here he is screaming and shaking the gate, attempting to shake it open.  He becomes very angry whenever his movement is restricted.

 

He did wish Lexy his best, but then insisted on running around like a lunatic some more. 

 

We have so enjoyed watching the culmination of Lexy's many years of work with the band and will miss these Friday night outings.  And, I'm sure she will miss them much more than any of us.  We are incredibly proud of our talented Alexandria and wish her many continued opportunities to showcase her musical talents.
