My old stomping ground

On Saturday we went to Homecoming at Carson-Newman, my Alma Mater. It was a beautiful day and such a fun time. Hubby always laughs because we get to park right beside the stadium and easily walk anywhere. It is quite a change from when we go to a game at his Alma Mater (UT).

Here we are in front of my dorm. I was trying to explain to her that Mama lived here when I was in college. She kept saying "Daddy??" I told her no he couldn't live here..no co-ed dorms at CNC ; ) Later she would point and say "Anns?" and I told her that yes she could live there someday. Hey, better than letting my baby go off to UT where there is way too much partying!!

I didn't have a CNC shirt for her so we headed to the bookstore and got her one. She of course ditched the bow too so now all the pics have hair in her face LOL We got her a little nerf soccer ball too and she and daddy had fun playing. It is not often we go anywhere without her wanting us to buy another ball..I have no idea how many we have at home! *click on any collage to enlarge to see her crazy expressions better

During our visit to the bookstore she saw this Eagle. I was trying to 'prep' her for seeing the mascot Eagle b/c he is kind of scary looking. She liked this one and notice she has her binoculars

We found a spot to watch the parade and a puppy found someone who liked getting kisses : ) For those of you who love her crazy expressions..here is a fix for you! These made me think of pictures I had of her from last year..go here to check them out but come back here because there is more to see of course...

She cheered for the parade to start. She had never been to a parade so I don't think she knew what to expect but she saw the fire truck and was ready!

These pictures do not capture her parade experience. She could not believe what was happening, people were throwing candy at her!!! She probably was thinking why haven't you people taken me to a parade before now?

At the game we finally saw the real Eagle...she was NOT happy about it. Seriously, I think I have claw marks on my neck (and not from the Eagle) I need to try and get her to make her Eagle face for a pic...she snarls her mouth up and it is too funny!

The half time show was a hit. She loves watching a band and every now and then would cheer or turn around and 'play' an imaginary instrument for us (when she wasn't standing on the rail of course)

We had a great time with only a few melt downs for our napless girl
