orange friday

madelyn was asked to wear her class color to school today - orange. she had already worn both of her orange shirts to school this week so she had to throw in a little pink too. at school, she found a note in her lunch box telling her that we were going to the high school football game with her friend ella. they had invited us when they had a few extra season tickets due to traveling grandparents (yes, there are season tickets to the high school games and they are kept for years and years and years, generations even).

it was a steady rain kind of day. not ideal for football, but the home side is covered so we were still on. after a quick shirt change to her "hoover" shirt, we met them for dinner before the game and rode together. it was a "girls' night - plus griffin" (ella's little brother). the girls could not have been more excited!

i don't think that they watched any of the game but they loved the bands! it helped that the visiting band did a pixar sampling (with character formations) and closed with "let it go." and, there were snacks. that makes anything fun for madelyn. so thankful for thoughtful friends! love.
