This week was Homecoming week at Minnetonka High School...it is so fun to see so much school spirit. Everyday there was a new theme at school and all of the students participate by wearing some CRAZY outfits to school.
The first day was pajama day, then lumberjack day, safety day (I don't even get this one so don't feel like you are losing something in the translation) and the last day it was "school pride" day where everyone wore the school colors. Sondre got dressed up everyday and then wore his football jersey on "School Pride Day." On Friday they crowned the King and Queen of the school too. Enjoy the pictures.
The student section. Lots of school spirit for sure.
The varsity team played Edina on Friday night and won again by a score of 28 to 14; the junior varsity played on Saturday and "creamed" them by a score of 56 to 7. Sondre played in a full series...and he looked good.
The team walks in arm and arm...sign of team solidarity. It is pretty cool to see.
During the national anthem...not so sure he knows the words. I think he hums it. :)
After every game the team sings the school song to all of the fans to thank them for the support.
I love this part
Post game huddle.
The two teams shaking hands after the game
Above is a picture of Sondre running through the defense on the other team (vs. Jefferson...last weeks game). Look at the smile on his coaches face in the background. He looks like an ox he is so strong.

Below is a picture of Sondre all dressed up in his new homecoming suit. Handsome huh??? He can wear this suit when the King and Queen of Norway are here. Scott contacted "The Sons of Norway" here in Minnesota and Sondre will be able to go to the church service they will be attending while they are in Minnesota (October 16th.)
It was a pretty busy football weekend for us...Alex (our youngest) who is a senior in college at Winona State had a great game as Quarterback. They won too.

Today we spent the day at an AFS event...and had a good time. Sondre enjoyed "hanging" around with the other students from the other parts of Minnesota.
Knut and Torstein: Scott got tickets to the Vikings game for when you are in the US. They have been playing terribly...so hopefully they can get their act together so you will have an enjoyable game to watch. He got enough tickets for all of the boys (including Chrisopher)...we girls join you for a pre-game tailgate somewhere. Scott may have also finagled a way for two of you to actually watch the game on the field with the team. Fingers-crossed.
Both Scott and I were out of town last week for a few days...so Sondre got a break from his nasty host parents :) I actually think he missed us!
Next weeks update will include Sondre's senior pictures...we will send you the link so you can chose which ones you want.
Have a good week...lots of love from Minnesota.
