Farmington Tigers!

Darren loves himself a good marching band...and since we are his family we have embraced love for marching band as well. Early October was homecoming week for Farmington and since Darren is one of the marching band directors we had a very busy week! The day of the homecoming parade was beautiful. Notice the girls are in long sleeved shirts and shorts!

Lynn's son Cameron is a drummer in the band and invited the whole daycare to sit with them and watch the parade. Super fun!

Brynn and her very best buddy Miranda sporting their Tiger Wear!


Although we ate before going to the parade Cara scammed some of Jean's (Miranda's mom) sandwich. Little turkey!

Amanda had puffs for Evie and gained quite the crowd of little ones once they realized what Evie was eating.

The girls are enthralled with marching bands...I wonder if we'll have future marchers. I will say the band sure does have A LOT of fun out on the field!

The cheerleaders gave each of the kids pom poms to cheer on the football team.

Brynn and Cara even got to run across the street and watch the band up close with Darren while they passed us.

This year's home made Tiger shirts. I do get better and better at this if I do say so myself.

Since this was Darren's first year of being a marching band director we weren't really sure what to expect. He did warn me that our house could get toilet papered. Oh boy! However, the seniors held back with the toilet paper and instead put on quite the performance in our driveway at 11:15 at night. All our neighbors were roused from bed and out in their driveways enjoying the show. As my sister says, "Those crazy band kids!"

The girls sat very contently through each home game as long as they each had their own $1 popcorn. Sure girls, we can get popcorn tonight!

Notice we are out for an evening game on October 7th without coats. Gotta love this crazy Minnesota weather!
