Adrian Homecoming 2010

Since loosing my job in Harper, I have been doing a lot of subbing at my the school I went to as a kid...Adrian High School, in Adrian, Oregon. I happened to be doing a long term sub for a teacher having surgery during Homecoming week. I was to supervise the Senior class in their float building for the parade. Their theme was "Adrian Antelopes, 60 years of Magic" with a play on the Disney theme. The chose a representative of each decade of students and I was luck enough to be representing the 1990s. We rode in the back of the pickup pulling the float. The senior class was dressed as various Disney characters and even Gavin got in on the fun, dressing in his Tigger costume representing the "future Antelopes"

The float in process. It took second place.

After the parade, there was was community pep assembly complete with each class having a cheer and playing a game. This little guy is in Ashlyn's class. He was part of a relay where they had to fill up the cup that was balanced on the teacher's head. This teacher is my friend Kelsey Zimmerman. She was soaked by the time the game was over.


These girls are brutal! During homecoming week the girls play a powder-puff football game. By the end of the game, there were many bruises, and few fat lips and some hurt feelings. Gifford and I decided that they should allow the girls to dress down, pads and all. They tend to be more aggressive than the boys are.


After the powder-puff game, there was a huge community bonfire. I temporarily lost my children, only to find them crawling around in the fire engine...I should have known!
