Go Hogs! Beat South Carolina & Tennessee!

We have had SO much fun tailgating this football season! Last weekend we cheered the Hogs on as they beat South Carolina. Honey made the kids hundreds of red razorback beads to hand out to the fans as they walked by. Brookelyn couldn't wait to start handing them out!
Here are the kids calling to the people walking by and then handing out their beads. Our set up was perfect because everyone walks right past the fence as they head up to the stadium. The kids were able to hand out the beads and we didn't have to worry about them wandering through crowds of people.
Here is the view from the other side of the fence!
Then, Honey got out her "stash of goodies," which included an interesting game where the kids put on these elephant masks and tried to hook rings on their trunks. However, the trunks looked awfully x-rated. We laughed and laughed. But, hey--it kept the kids entertained!
Here is the princess and her daddy waiting for the game to start!
And, here is B-Man and Honey trying to stay warm! It was SO windy!

Yesterday we cheered the Razorbacks as they gave Tennessee a "whoopin" (as Braedyn says)! Emily and David were back from their cruise (yes, we were all so jealous) and joined in the fun!
We picked up the little Razorback costume from Walmart, and it was a HIT! Braedyn loved running around in it. He even got to meet Marshawn Powell (from the basketball Hogs) and shook his little Razorback tail for him.
Right before kickoff it was sunny and a little warmer, but it got COLD and WINDY quickly!
It wasn't long before my little razorback pooped out! His big sister fell asleep too!
We are so sad the tailgating season is over! And, you can bet Allen is already planning his list of tailgating toys for Santa to bring him for next year!
