On to high school football in Texas...
I had no idea just how big it was in Texas until I went to a game last year. I was blown away at how massive the stadium was, not to mention the practice facility. It was insane.
So this year our friends parents got us tickets and some for Josh and Carol as well. We all went together to Coppell (in Dallas) and experienced high school football in Texas.
You seriously feel like you are at a college game. We went to the homecoming game so we also experienced the tradition of mums. The average mum is about a hundred and twenty bucks a pop! They can go for up to $200. Seriously! There are teddy bears, braids, ribbon, bells, the dates name and more on them. It is the biggest "corsage" (spelling?) you have ever seen. We were floored. It was fascinating. The girls wear theirs on their shirts and the boys wear theirs on their arms. They can weigh like 20-30 pounds!!
So our friends mom makes mums and she made one for the four oldest girls. They looked adorable and they were so cute. Keep in mind that the mums for the high school kids are like 3 to 5 times the size of the girls' mums and I am NOT kidding. The girls were asked if they had boyfriends (since you usually get one from a date) and they all said "NO!" But then Claire piped up and said, "I do." So I asked her who it was and she smiled and said Josh Galovich! Sorry Josh you aren't getting away that easy here! For those of you in Texas, Josh is one of Zeb's good fiends from high school that's married! :) I wonder how many years she'll say that for.
So we loved going to the game together and it was fun to see Zeb, Josh and Carol experience it for the first time. High school football in Texas is no joke, they take it very seriously!
