Virginia Tech v Clemson Football Game

What a crazy weekend in the upstate of SC! The ride up was filled with lots of noise from Hudson crying the majority of the time - crying so hard he made himself puke three times. Grayson managed to hit the 911 button on the hotel phone which sent two Greenville Police Officers to our room five minutes after we arrived, and sleeping the first night was a challenge with three small kids and two adults in one room. All of this before the big game!
Game day was a lot more fun and totally worth all the other craziness, even if the Hokies lost! Aaron's brother has an RV complete with all the comforts of home. It made the day much easier since it's where we spent the majority of our time. We did manage to take all five of us to the stadium and watch the first half live. I'm glad I saw that half in person verse the second half which just got ugly for my beloved team. Aaron was a happy man with another win for Clemson!
The kids had plenty of other kids to play with. At our tailgate we had 14 kids ranging in age from newborn to teenage. It was non-stop fun playing football, corn hole, racing cars and riding bikes. They were fueled by plenty of sugary treats and drinks. I'm not sure they ate anything nutrious that day. That's what tailgating is all about though; good food, good drinks, good friends/family, just one big good ol' time!
 
 Aaron claimed the boys and I got the girl.
 The kids were a little confused at times. Carrington wore a Hokie cheer outift with Clemson Tiger paw on her face and Hudson had a Clemson onesie with a Hokie bib.
 Stroller ride before the game to try and get in a quick nap. Not successful! Looking at all the tailgaters in action was very entertaining.

 It looks like she was a Tiger tail growing out of the top of her head.
