Bob Jones vs. Enterprise August 24, 2013

My friend alerted me to a few photos of the 'kid' on Flickr from the Bob Jones football games, so I thought I would on of them here.  She is in the front of the line, I believe this is during warm-ups. 

Here Comes The Band!!

Hip Hip Hooray!

Look out Color Guard... she is coming your way!

Congratulations to our daughter who found out last night she was chosen to be part of her High School Color Guard Team! We are so excited and proud of her!  It is exciting for her to be part of a nationally recognized program.  We can't wait for the football games, it is going to make for some great photos and some wonderful blogs!

Have Flag Will Travel!

When our daughter decided she was going to try out for color guard, she engineered a 'make shift' flag until she was able to check out the real thing.  While it was far from being 'to scale' it was a very creative way for her to get the feel of flipping the pole into the air and trying to catch it.












After her first lesson with "A" he loaned her an 'official' color guard flag, which looked nothing like what she had fashioned.  She was excited to return home and practice with the real thing. She was convinced she could even teach her Dad a thing or two.  So here is a photo sort of a "before" and "after" shot.  Her with the real flag and her Dad sporting her pirate version!

Quick, someone sign him up for the team, I am sure they will never find a guy with that much style and who comes with his own flag no matter how much they look!

Let your flag fly high!

Question:  How do you transport a 6ft flag in a Volkswagen Beetle?

Answer:    Through the moon roof of course!

We had a slight dilemma yesterday afternoon, when we discovered not only would we be taking one of our daughter's friends home, but transporting her color guard flag as well.  Normally, this would not be an issue as we have the truck, but it was at the shop having the tires rotated and the oil changed.  So, how were we to get this flag home....then it dawned on us through the moon roof! 

You should have seen the "M's" eyes when she saw her flag waving proudly out of the top of my beetle.  Have no fear, we didn't leave it there for long.  We wrapped it tightly and stuck the pole end out instead.  I am glad to report "M" and her flag both made it safely home!
