Samantha, not surprisingly, was a hit. We went to a few tailgates before heading into the stadium. Samantha did get her ticket, by the way, compliments of Mrs. Donna and Ryder. Once we were in, we had a very special treat. Our friend Amber is a former majorette and marched with the Pride of the Southland Alumni Band since it was homecoming. Before the festivities got started, she was able to get us on the field to meet the cheerleaders, dance team and, of course, Smokey. I think Samantha was a bit overwhelmed by it all, as she slept straight through the second quarter and the halftime show. She was all smiles when she woke up, especially since her buddy Lindsey had joined us. The stadium isn't exactly full these days, so we actually sat close to the field in the student section. Steve and I feel like we broke her in right!
Pre-game, all smiles.

I think she's more interested in the pom poms than the cheerleaders!

More interested in her pacifier than Smokey.
On the field for her first ballgame ... we may have set the bar a tad too high!
"This is fun and all, but seriously, I need to lay down and take a nap!"

"Cool! A grown-up cup!"

What a big day for our precious little Homecoming Princess. Too bad she couldn't work her charm on the football team. I guess she wasn't the only one snoozing!
Thanks for sharing.
So precious and unique!!!!!!
Your loving Memaw
