Clemson

Their blood runs orange without a doubt! We took Walt and Emmie to their first Clemson football game for the Wake Forest game. It exceeded all of my expectations. Boyd's parents rented a lake house for everyone to spend the weekend, which was fantastic. On the cold and rainy Saturday morning we set out to go to the game. All week I taught the kids to say C*L*E*M*S*O*N T*I*G*E*R*S fight tigers fight tigers fight fight fight. I was caught more than a little off guard by the weather, and thought we must be crazy as we sat in traffic for an hour to get to the game. But, it was SO worth it. We were very fortunate that Birch's tickets are under the cover, so we didn't get wet. Thank you Amy!!! Walt and Emmie yelled Go Tigers as we walked from the tailgate into the game. They really didn't get as excited as I expected over the football players running down the hill and the balloons going up, but they did get excited to cheer for the Tigers during the game. Walt took a little nap during the first quarter, but woke up refreshed and ready to enjoy the game afterwards. Every time the crowd cheered Emmie cheered with them. We lasted in to the 3rd quarter at which point, I was ready to go hang out with all of my friends at the tailgate, rather than stick around and wait for Walt and Emmie to loose interest. We are definitely planning to attend more games with them now. We all had a blast. And, both Walt and Emmie can now spell Clemson and are huge Clemson fans. Anytime Emmie sees football on TV, she yells "Go Tigers!" no matter who is playing.

Betsy, Cheri, Ashley, Erin, Amy, Paige, and Emmie.  I'm so excited for this growing group.  Ashley and Amy are due in the spring!
