Football, Roadtrip, Homecoming and a Spanish Fieldtrip

Live for today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.

So a lot has happened since I wrote my last blog. I went to my first football game. Went on an epic road trip. I had my first and last homecoming week. I also went on an amazing Spanish field trip.
My first football game was so much fun. It was against Burlington. It included fun with friends, cheerleaders, school band and of course football. Sadly we lost but apart from that it was an awesome night. That was the first of many fun football games to come. Since then I have been to 3 more games which have been just as good if not better then the first.

Also the weekend before homecoming Emily, Kristen, Louise and myself went to Greeley to go homecoming dress shopping. It was a day of a lot of fun. Trying on terrible dresses, taking photos and having a laugh. It was a great first road trip.

Louise, Me, Kristen and Emily. We thought we should get these ones for the dance....

Roadtrip! Roadtrip!

I have also experienced homecoming week. Homecoming week included dress up days, afternoon activities, the homecoming football game and of course the homecoming dance. The whole week was amazing and so much fun.

The dress-up themes for each day were:
Monday - Cowboys and Indians
Tuesday - Gender Bender
Wednesday - Twin Day
Thursday - Throwback
Friday - Purple Pride

Gender Bender with Melissa, Louise and Kristen

Twin Day which turned out to be Triplet Day!

On Tuesday afternoon there was gorilla volleyball. It is when each grade puts together a team of guys to play volleyball against each other. The Jersey Juniors won :)

Wednesday there was a huge bonfire where everyone just gathered round talking, dancing and just had fun.

Thursday's afternoon activity was the lip sync. There were performances by the senior girls, junior girls, teachers and the amazing performance by the senior boys along with others. It was so funny.

On Friday each grade made a float representing their purple pride. Then after lunch our floats were in the homecoming parade. The seniors float won!

That night we went and watched the homecoming game which we sadly lost :(

Saturday was all about the homecoming dance. We went and did our hair and make up at Emily's then it was off to Melissa's for finish getting ready and eating something before the dance. Finally it was off to the dance which was AMAZING. We danced the whole time, laughing and having a good time. It was a great weekend.

Overall it was an action packed, exciting week that I will never forget.
On Tuesday I went on a Spanish field trip to Denver to see the Hispanic Flamenco Ballet. It was a lot of fun driving to Denver. We listened to music, ate food, took photos and had laugh. The show consisted of different Hispanic dances and music. It was great. We then went and ate some Mexican food before we headed home. The trip back was great fun. Squirting water at people while they slept was a great highlight haha.

Just being cool on the way to Denver with Josh.

I also learnt how to count American change! I'm sure they had fun counting my 29c in penny's haha :)

So the last few weeks have been a lot of fun. Every day better then the one before. Shout out to Kristen Hasty for making them so much fun :)

This is what happens when we eat out!
