Another turning point in Little Miss Skyler's life happened last night.
LAKELAND DREADNAUGHT FOOTBALL!!
You've never truly experienced a high school football game until you've sat in the stands at Bryant Stadium, a.k.a Castle Field, and watch the mighty Orange & Black! The crowd of usually 6000 or more pack the stadium and cheer relentlessly. Winning is a football tradition at Lakeland High School, home of 2 National Championships and 6 State Titles. My husband was a defensive coach during some of those glorious years and every where I go, I still hear, "Hey, you're Coach Short's wife"!
Skyler is now apart of this wonderful football family. She enjoyed her first LHS football game against cross town rival, the Lake Gibson Braves. Although it was just warm up game to the 2009 season, it was a fabulous family night....me & Skyler amongst all our friends......showing our "Naught" pride! She even stayed awake during the entire 36-7 victory and she wasn't even fazed by the marching band or the ship's cannons going off after each score! Daddy left the coaching booth and joined us with less then 5 minutes to go. Quite a big difference from the baseball game, where she passed out in the 4th inning. She's definitely a football fan...just like Mummy & Daddy!
I love all the new pictures you posted yesterday and then new ones from the LHS game. You are right about if you need a smile all you have to do is click on Skyler's blog.
ReplyDeleteSo true!! Maryl, Skyler wore the cute orange polkadot dress last night & everyone commented on it. I told them that you & Skip bought it for her. They all told me to tell you, "Hi!"
