Razorback Weekend

We had such a great weekend in Arkansas--despite the Hogs' loss to Georgia! It was almost midnight when we finally got to Uncle Dave's house on Thursday night, and the kids barely slept 30 minutes the whole 6 hour drive! The next morning we were up (before the sun) and off to Gramma and Grampa's house for breakfast. We had a great day with lots of playing outside--Brookelyn is now obsessed with sweeping, swimming, and yummy food. That night we headed to Fayetteville for the kids' first pep rally. We got there super early and while we sat waiting, were asked to judge it (the sororities, fraternities, and dorms all compete against each other in spirit contests to win). Since we were judges we got the VIP treatment, including standing right up front, meeting all the mascots and cheerleaders, and generally being right in the middle of the whole thing (like two feet from the fire twirling baton girl who Brookelyn now wants to be when she grows up). It was absolutely wonderful--Allen and I were laughing saying that Brookelyn won't understand why she can't stand in the front again the next time we take her! The next day we again awoke, or should I say were awakened before the sun and headed back to Grampa and Gramma's house. We watched lots of football, played outside in the kids' new swing (Thanks!), and just had a wonderful time. That night Daddy and Uncle David headed to the game to cheer on the Hogs.
Here is a short slide show of the fun we had:
