Columbus Day weekend was a busy one in our house. It was Homecoming week, so leading up to the weekend, the girls were busy with activities at school for spirit week, the Homecoming football game was Friday night, Nina had to take the SAT test on Saturday morning, Lyla’s team was in a soccer tournamet, and of course there was the Homecoming dance.
It’s hard to believe this is the last Homecoming for Nina. Sadly, because of Covid, she didn’t have a Homecoming her freshman year (they were in virtual school), but it has been great to see her enjoy so much of Independence these past three years. She’s a part of SCA, so in the days around big events at school, she’s always extra busy with planning, decorating, set up/take down, running events during spirit week, etc. So, after a busy week at school, getting up for the SAT test early Saturday morning wasn’t ideal, but after the test she enjoyed meeting up with her good friend, Anika, for pictures, and then their group went out to dinner, the dance, and some festivies afterwards. She still had to get up early the next morning to head back to the school for cleanup, so needless to say, she was glad to have the holiday Monday off to just relax.
Lyla’s soccer team was playing in a Columbus Day tournament with all three days of games being at a complext that was about 1:30-1:45 minutes away. Due to the late scheduled game on Saturday, she missed her soccer game due to Homecoming, but she was glad to have the day to do her thing and get ready for the evening. She and Bobby also enjoyed pictures, dinner out, the dance, and then hanging out afterwards.
It ended up being a sunny, but windy and chilly, afternoon. We had the pressure on to get pictures done in a flash as we arrived at Oatlands (for pictures) only to find out an outdoor wedding was about to begin there and the wedding coordinator was very hard pressed to shoo us out nearly as soon as we got there. However, the most important part was that they all had a great night and enjoyed themselves and their friends.
