It's That Time of Year




It's fall...the time of year when people start thinking about making pumpkin everything, apple picking, and cooler temps. It also means college football!!! This year's Clemson schedule has been  great to allow us the opportunity to go to Clemson games, but also go camping, shrimpin', and even have a weekend free at home to work on some projects. We've been to all but the South Carolina State game(Callen and Graham didn't make it to the Louisville game either). Callen has enjoyed himself at the tailgates, running around and playing with the big kids. He hasn't done as much tailgrazing this year as in seasons past. However, he thinks going to 'Clemson Tigers' football games are the best. From our parking spot, we can hear the band march through on the way to the stadium. Last game he heard them and about jumped out of his skin letting us know that it was starting and we needed to leave! Too bad his enthusiasm for the actual game isn't as great as it is for the running down the hill!! With Callen's lack of focus on the game and the hot temps, we have spent the majority of the games at our tailgate spot or most recently from the newly renovated Littlejohn.

Here are some pics from the first couple of games the boys went to...

Cal wanted to spray his hair orange for the first game! He pretty much sweated it out in the first 5 minutes we were there!

Papa and Graham

Cal and his bucket of snacks (thanks to Ber for that one!) He is literally finishing the bucket of snacks as I sit and type this. Almost 2 months worth of snacks!

Graham's first game

NC State
We went to see the Homecoming floats a day early to avoid long lines. Cal was pumped he was able to wear an orange hard hat




Admiring the Clemson firetruck...or wishing he could climb all over it like the big boys!

Taking a break from the stadium during the NC State game and enjoying running around Littlejohn

We made it back in time to see OT and watch the Tigers win!!!




Introducing Callen to the art of sliding down hills on cardboard boxes. One of my favorite memories of Clemson tailgating growing up.



2 tired boys!!!
