Football Season is Here!

One of the things I really love about Thomasville is how excited everyone gets about football season! Coming from a school district in Naples that currently has 8 high schools, there wasn't much unity around town concerning sports teams. But with only the one high school in our current district (but two others in town--one a private school, and one a city school), everyone it seems is a "Jackets" fan. Jackets, as in Yellow Jackets (like Georgia Tech).

Every Friday at school is blue and gold day. (I love that they have the same colors that my high school had!) The girls usually wear their Thomas County shirts, and they all have matching flip flops, too. The cheerleaders sell tattoos at school which the girls put on before heading out to the "Jacket's Nest"stadium. Abby and Emily wanted to trim the handles of their pom-poms to put into their ponytails, too.

Abby and Emily also made signs that they took with them to the game (and waved out the car windows as we headed through town). They were so cute!










Although the Jackets lost this particular night, we all still had a great time together as a family and as a community!
