Every year in October, Evan and Payton's school hosts a Tailgate Party before one of the high school football games. We were super excited when we found out that Daddy had the day off, so we could all go together. We invited Stephen to come along with us, so we parked and walked from Uncle Billy's house. As we were walking there, we heard a Phil Collins song being played at the high school stadium. I'm sure the kiddos thought it was really cool to be walking down the street with their parents singing "I can feel it coming in the air tonight. Hold on." Ha! As we made our way to the school, the kids were all really excited to see a Life Flight Helicopter that was out for display.

We got to the Tailgate Party and we were ready to have some fun. I got a quick picture of the boys, while we were standing in line to buy tickets.

After Daddy got our tickets, we split into two groups. Daddy took Stephen and Karsyn to play a few games. I took Addi, Payton, and Evan to get their faces painted.
 |
| Addi went first. She wanted a rainbow. I really love this picture. It just shows how much Payton loves and cares for Addi. |
 |
| Payton went next. She picked a rainbow too! |

| Pretty Rainbow Payton |
 |
| Evan got OU, because he's a big Sooner fan! |
The girls couldn't wait to get a feather in their hair, so that was our next stop. I love Addi's long strand of blue hair. ha!
 |
| My little blue hair. And yes, the face paint was already smeared. |
 |
| Pay's blue streak. |
Daddy, Stephen, and Karsyn met us right as Payton was getting her feather. All 5 kiddos really wanted to do the inflatable slide next. They couldn't wait!
 |
| Payton went down first to show everyone how it's done. |
 |
| Addi went down next. |
 |
| Karsyn got a little scared. Evan was such a good brother and went down the slide with her. |
Right as I was taking a picture of Stephen going down the slide, the silly guy did a flip. So, the picture was all blurry. Boo! He's always doing stuff to crack us up. The kids got done sliding just in time to see Life Flight take off.

By this time, all the kids decided that they were starving!!! Evan, Payton, Addi, and Karsyn all wanted popcorn. Mr. Stephen wanted a hot dog.

Daddy took Evan to play another game, while the girls and Stephen finished up their food. Karsyn unknowingly entertained a few teachers as she started busting a move. ha!

It was starting to get a little dark as the party was wrapping up. We decided it was time to start walking home. I felt a little emotional as we did, because I realized that it was the last time Evan and Stephen would go to the Tailgate Party as elementary students. Wow! Knowing that makes me extra happy that we went.
Oh, this looks like so much fun! I wish our elementary school did something like this. I wish I could see Karsyn's dance moves...I bet she and Brody would be quite a dancing pair! Both Evan and Payton look like such a caring big brother/big sister!
ReplyDeleteKarsyn was really getting into it. lol! I'm sure her and Brody would be way too cute together. Evan and Payton are really good to thier little sisters. It makes me really proud.
DeleteThat looks like a really fun time! I love it when my kids get their faces painted although it often gets smeared right away!
