Life At The Camper: Homecoming Week

Homecoming was invented with Jon in mind. It just had to be. He loves everything about this special week. Participating in the Powderpuff game is something he has looked forward to since Ann was in school. I really think that is why he went out for volleyball so that he could get a varsity letter and join the Varsity Club. The boys practiced for almost a month on their cheers and halftime dance routine. Jon would come home so excited and show me everything he was learning. He was having such a great time!

All the cheerleaders

Jon's friend DJ is very good at the gymnastic part of cheerleading. He was doing cartwheels and back flips all night.

Jon and Tino have been good friends for a long time. Tina won Homecoming King so Jon was very excited for him. That would be Ian photobombing in the background.

During halftime the boys did their dance routine. If I knew how to transfer video from my phone to the computer I would post in on here. Sounds like a job for Ken.

The boys also participated in a Mr. Legs competition. At lunch everyday for a week the below picture would be set up on a table and the kids voted by putting money in a jar in front of it. One of the Grote boys won this year.

That is what they call bird legs

Of course Jon was excited about the Homecoming Dance. All week he was practicing his dance moves. And I will say he looked extremely handsome in his tux.

I just wish I could get a serious picture of him

Jon and Ann Marie Spalding

Homecoming taught me that Jon has a whole other life that I know nothing about. I knew everyone Ann went to school with and hung around. Jon is the complete opposite. I have zero idea who half these people are and it drives me crazy!!!!

I know these guys. Ian and Cameron play hockey with Jon. Keep this pic in mind, Cameron is heading to Nashville to try his luck in the music scene there. He actually lived in Nashville this summer playing gigs all around town.
