Tailgating Fun



It's football season, and that means college football in this house.  We do watch pro also, but college is definitely the priority.  Specifically...the Virginia Tech Hokies.  Hubby's parents are nice enough to give us season tickets every year, but with the addition of the boys, it's harder for both of us to attend the games.  Usually, we try to sell my ticket (I hangout at the tailgate with the boys and another mom friend of mine), or just eat the cost.  However, this year, we decided it was time for something super special and exciting....time to take C to his first college football game!

So, we picked a game where it (wasn't supposed to be) too hot, and was early enough in the day that we thought he could make it at least half the game.

Excited to head into the game!  

Cooling down with a snow cone cup.  (Orange of course.)

Asleep before half time!

We think C had a good time.  It ended up being so hot, that Hubby and his parents spent most of the time trying to make sure he had enough sunscreen on and stayed cool enough!  C did say he liked watching them kick the ball!  



Some other random tailgating pictures...

No tailgate is complete without the food!


N had a great time crawling in the grass!  (And maybe eating a little of it, too!)


Of course, we played a little cornhole.


This face...I just love it!



N with the Hokie Bird.

N hanging out in the his brothers carseat while I packed a little...he thought it was hilarious!

Of course, C wanted to sit somewhere silly.

And, not even 2 miles down the road!

Weekend Recap

Wow!  What a busy, emotional weekend.  Saturday, Hubby and I went to the Virginia Tech game.  I picked this game because it was supposed to be relaxing and easy on me, meaning I should have been able to just sit and relax after the first quarter...yeah, that did not happen.  It was pouring rain and, well, let's just say the team had some issues.  Yes, we lost, and all I'm going to say about it is it sucked.  We had a lot of fun before the game hanging out with family. 

Hubby and I before the game!  Excuse the lack of make up :)
We woke up at 6am to drive 4 hours and then left right after the game, soaking wet to drive another 4!

Sunday was spent relaxing and trying to get over the game Saturday.  A very lazy day until 3:00.  There was a back to school picnic at school.  C had a great time showing Hubby his cubby (but didn't want to go near his classroom!) and playing.  They had a bouncy slide that Hubby took him on, not once, but twice, and a smaller bounce house that C did not want to leave.  We were supposed to have a carousel as well, but the one they delivered was broken, so it turned into what I called the "Photo Op Carousel" and a co-worker called a "Statue of a Carousel."  We all had a lot of fun! 


Pointing out his cubby, also known as where his hat goes :)

Fun in the bounce house!

Weeeeeeee!!!!

C going down the slide by himself!

So much fun! 

Almost forgot about Firefighter C!

Cheese!

So happy, I love that smile!

And of course, we can't forget how our weekend ended...with a Redskins win against the Cowboys!  Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a wonderful week!
