Football Friday Night!!!!

The time has rolled around again for Friday night Football!!! We look forward to football season every year. High school ball is very big around here, and we fell into that very soon after moving here. The football stadium is about 2 blocks from our house, and we enjoy walking there every home game. We'll probably make it to a couple of away games this year, too.

Here we all are in our "Peabody" attire:
At the game, Parker was recognized with several other boys for going to the Football Camp this past summer. They all had their names announced and got to wave (or dance) to the audience - what a ham!!! Kinlee met up with a friend of hers from school and they had fun cheering, playing, and goofing off during the game.
Unfortunately, our team didn't win, but we had a great time cheering them on anyway. Hopefully, their season will pick up, but even if it doesn't, we'll be there anyway......(unless it's cold and rainy - that's where I draw the line!!!):)

Football Camp

Last week, Parker went to football camp. The camp is held here in town and is run by the high school football coaches. Several of the high school players also help. Parker got to play football all week long - his dream come true!! At the beginning of the week, the boys are divided into teams and given NFL team names. Parker was thrilled to be on the Titans! Each day, they play a series of games against eachother, and the week ends in the "Tide Bowl" on Friday. The 1st and 2nd placed teams in each age division play in the Tide Bowl.The Titans made it to the bowl game against the Vikings. Our own Parker Finton scored the winning touchdown for his team and they came out victorious!!! He had an awesome week having fun with his friends. He couldn't wait to have the players autograph his camp shirt on the last day. We were very proud of him, not only for his skill and ability, but mostly for his sportsmanship and attitude! Roll Tide (Peabody Tide, that is.....) :) Don't get too excited, Becky! :)
