School spirit
Georgie got her first taste of the hardwood today -- in this case literally. Watching little kids at the school play basketball made me ancy to get here out there to shoot some hoops.
These photos were taken as stills with the video camera, in case you're wondering why they look weird.
Basketball wasn't the main event though, it was today's pow-wow. It was basically a school assembly with drumming, singing, and dancing. Some of the kids even wore traditional clothing. The elementary students danced in a circle and the junior high and high schoolers mostly sat around looking bored. I took a lot of video of it but because Nikki's research needs to stay anonymous, I can't post it.
After school was out, we headed back home but kept on driving through Dupuyer and headed to Choteau. We ordered some greek yogurt at our natural food store and it had come in. As we were leaving Mountain Front Market, I heard a police siren. It didn't even register with me at first, recent DC resident as I am. But after a second I realized that police sirens are probably a little more rare in Choteau. As it turned out, there was nothing to be alarmed about -- it was the Choteau HS homecoming parade. Nikki and I jumped in the car and headed down a parallel street to try and get to the front of the parade. I took pictures of it with the real camera but can't seem to find it.
One of the floats had some little kids and said 'Class of 2021'. Nikki did some quick math and pointed out that Georgie will be the class of 2026. That made both of us feel very old.
