More Homecoming









Rachel and Levi along with Lucas and Lindsey were in the Homecoming parade. The theme this year was Western. Levi wore a Woody costume from Toy Story and our neightbor helped make the wagon look like a covered wagon. Levi did so well in the parade. He left his hat on the whole time and waved to everyone. We didn't even coach him about waviing. He was just a natural!! We found out the next day that he was on TV briefly on the 10:00 news. We have yet to find out whether or not they won a prize because that is usually announced at the game.




Rachel and her friend Amber, who both work at the local nursing home decided they wanted to visit some of their friends there and show off their dresses.



From there it was on to get Austin and take some pictures at his house.



The girls wanted to have pictures taken at Eagle Point Park but we didn't take as many as usual because it was way too cold outside.





Rachel's group of friends went out to eat at Happy Joe's before the dance. They had fun playing in the game room!
