Fabulously Fun Fall Weekend

We had a great weekend in Clemson with the Gregg's back in October.  We drove through the mountains, saw the waterfall, went apple picking, went to the Clemson football game, and finished the weekend at the SC State Fair on the way home.  What a fabulously fun fall weekend.  We did it all and had a blast being with family.

Apple picking at Bryson's farms.  Emmie loved picking "cute apples".   They were miniature red apples that were delicious.  She ate 5 of them while we were picking.

Our little Tigers.  They were pumped to go to the football game.  They both love to yell C-L-E-M-S-O-N T-I-G-E-R-S fight tigers, fight tigers, fight fight fight!  It is pretty cute.  I think they may have orange blood!

This was after the pretzel and frozen lemonades and shortly before the "I'm hot, let's go" in the first quarter.  We stayed until halftime and then went back to the tailgate.  We tailgated with my best friends from college and they really know how to do it right.  Walt and Emmie were champion tailgaters from 11-6:30!

Definitely an annual tradition.

How sweet are these two???  These are completely unposed.  For some reason all Sunday morning Walt and Emmie were curled up to each other in this chair.  They were pretty tired after their extreme tailgaiting. 

Boyd and I haven't been to the SC State Fair in many, many years.  It really hasn't changed much other than the rediculous additions of fried foods.  Walt and Emmie LOVED the rides and the elephant ears.  We ate, rode, ate, rode, you get the picture.  FUN!

Not sure why Walt and Emmie rode in seperate cars with random kids.

Who had more fun here, Boyd or Emmie?  I admit, it was a lot of fun to go down the big slide again.  Thanks to Papa and PopPop for standing in line for us while the kids rode the airplane. 

This race car ride is by far the kids favorite.  It makes them laugh so hard when it swings them around.

Emmie really did want to ride this tugboat with Walt and me, but boy she hated it.  Ooops!

Thank you Meme and PopPop for such a fun weekend in the mountains and at Clemson.
