Last weekend, we took Alli to the last football game of the season. We had a good time even though it was a nail biter...relying on the kicker in a last second field goal...I'd rather be up by a lot! Although, it was enough to make Clemson the Coastal Champs and will move on to the ACC Champ. game. Much to our surprise, we had a great season and are looking forward to going "bowling." Hopefully, we'll be heading to Miami in Jan.! Wouldn't that be nice?
We took our bi-annual drive to Pigeon Forge 2 weeks ago to meet our friends: Amy, Jeremy, and Conner. We didn't stay in a cabin this time since it was kind of a short stay. It's amazing how Alli and Conner act like brother and sister and picked up right where they left off in the Spring. I hate that we only get to see each other twice a year, but always treasure the time we do have. We had a great time! Conner even went on a pony ride this time!
Happy Halloween! Yesterday was full of fun and candy for Alli. At school they got to wear their costumes and have a fun day, then we "trunk or treated" at 1st Baptist Clemson, then ventured to downtown Clemson where all of the shops and restaurants did trick or treating for the kids. Boy, was it packed! Alli was pleased with her loot. Then, we came home and trick or treated at the neighbor's houses. She was pooped after walking so much but definitely enjoyed her candy. When she woke up this morning, she was bummed it wasn't still Halloween!
Last weekend, while Chris was working Alli and I went to one of her little friend's birthday parties at Eden Farms. Alli was so excited because all of the kids got to go on a pony ride. She loves riding ponies from all the trips to the mountains we've taken. This was no exception!
Alli was so excited to be able to wear her Halloween costume to dance class yesterday. This year she decided on a lady bug. I think she's the cutest lady bug I've ever seen. The little girls in her class were pretty cute too. She can't wait for Trick or Treat on Monday!
This year Alli went with us to homecoming. Uncle Nick also came up for the occasion. We did our usual go and see the floats on Friday afternoon, then we tailgated, and went to the game. Like usual Alli wasn't too interested in football, and took a nap. On a good note, I won the homecoming Stein versus Food Tailgate Food Award for "best tailgate food" and came home with over $100 in prizes! Thanks Tiger Tailgate Show! I won for my caramel apple bars...they were good! Thanks Betty Crocker!
