Panther Season At Woodland Park High School

I'm not a football fan - never have been - and I don't even watch the Broncos play!  But since Matias plays football, we wanted to support him as we knew he was a great player so a couple Fridays ago we headed in to the first game of the season!

It was pouring rain - I mean POURING!!!  Jaime texted from the common area at the school that there was no hurry as they were postponing the game but we still got there ahead of time and mingled with all the people standing around!  We had fun visiting with the parents of one of Jaime's best friends in high school and catching up with them!!

The game kept getting delayed and delayed but FINALLY they said it would start at 8:00, an hour late!!

We got out to the wet, dripping stands and even held up umbrellas for a while as it was still misting a little bit!!  But the rain DID stop but it was COLD and damp!!  Somehow I grabbed the wrong coat that didn't have a hood so I was darn cold!!  Trust me, gloves and hat will be in the bag for the next game!!

Unfortunately the Panthers lost their first game!  Matias - known as Smash from his prior team - played really well and it was sure fun to watch him!

Their next game was in Co Springs (we were at hunting camp) but they won the game 51 to 0!!  Jaime kept texting the scores to me and it was pretty exciting to hear, even though we weren't there!  Matias even got a touchdown!  His position is running back (which means nothing to me of course - but it will to other people!!!)

So now we are at Homecoming week - and we're all excited for Friday nights' game!!  The kids dress up each day for a theme day and the picture below was for "pick a decade day" and I thought the picture was so cute of the two of them!!
