Saturday morning we woke up thinking the Clemson game was not looking very hopeful since it was pouring down rain outside. We turn the TV on to News 4 and good ole Dale Gilbert says, "I expect it to be clear from about 3 to 8. Good news for the Clemson fans!" So, we say let's go! It may be a perfect 1st game for the babies...not too hot, not too cold, nice clouds...PERFECT! Sure enough once we get to the game it had stopped raining. We tailgated for a little while then headed into the game. The first 10 minutes were great! Luke fell right asleep and Madison was laughing and smiling. Then all the noise started and poor Madison was scared to death! Big alligator tears came and her little bottom lip was sticking out. She was not enjoying all the noise. After about 20 minutes we headed back out to the tailgate. They loved it out there! We played and they took a nap. We were about to head back in when the rain came. Not just sprinkles...it poured!!! We had a great time hanging out under the tent for a while then we finally packed it up and headed home.
Was it how we pictured it? Not really, but as we were driving home my amazing husband said, "You know we were all together today and we had fun." Now isn't that what family is all about!
Just another page in our adventure called life :)

Luke is ready to watch CJ run the ball!
We met up with sweet James!
We also ran into some of my old students from Concrete, Gibson and Royce
Luke's shirt said "Hold on Tigers, I'm coming"
It was Parker's first game too! I have a feeling this tailgate is going to get crazier every year with 3 little ones :)
Madison before the alligator tears. She was smiling and laughing like crazy!
This is how Luke enjoyed his first game.
Clemson fans from head to toe

This is the life..all bundled up, rain falling on the tent top, hearing the roar of Clemson fans in the background! Many more (dry) Clemson games in their future!
Mel and I were there, too, but sans babies. I could not imagine subjecting babies to the noise of the first TCU drive. It would have probably have scared me as an infant, too! :-) But kudos for getting them started young...
