Aggieland 2013

A few weekends ago, we had our annual tailgate in Aggieland.  The girls loved seeing all their Aggie friends.

Friday night, we ate at a pizza place on Northgate and hung out around the MSC.

 Ashley is a member of the MSC Town Hall and was the MC for a Battle of the Bands.  The girls liked seeing her up on stage.

 We saw the real Reveille Friday night, but couldn't get a pic with her because she was headed to a dinner.  This gigantic stuffed version had to fill in for her.

 The girls danced and danced to the bands at Ashley's show.

Saturday, it was reunion time!  We had our biggest crowd ever.  There is no feeling like being in College Station with my 4 best friends.  Takes me back!

 Paige brought tattoos for everyone!

 The Kid Table

The Grilling Crew-Thanks Mom, Dad and Uncle Tommy!  

 Brent had so many Corps buddies there, but this was the only pic I got with a couple of them.

 March In

 Ruth's Family

The girls are officially brainwashed.  I don't think we could ever go down there and not take them with us.  They love it so much!  Every Saturday Caroline says, "Do I need to wear my Aggie dress?  Is Johnny going to play?"

 

A Cousin Fix

The first weekend in October, we went to Spring to visit GiGi, PawPaw, Aunt Haley and Carter.  The girls have so much fun entertaining their little cousin.

The weather didn't cooperate with our plans to visit a pumpkin patch.  Instead, we made a trip to the mall.  GiGi had her big bag of quarters for the rides.

 Fun on the Air Mattresses

 Playing Ball with Uncle Brent

 

 We got in a trip to the park before the rain started.

 Lots of towers were built . . .

  . . .and knocked down!

 They couldn't pop enough bubbles.

 

 It was a fun weekend of play!

Lion King

The first week in October, Nonnie and Pops took the girls and me to see Lion King at Fair Park.  It was our first big musical to go to and it was awesome!  The girls got the movie from the library the week before and had the songs down.  They have the soundtrack now and have been dancing and singing to the music every day.  

 Pops met us from work.  Caroline and Nonnie were on the lookout for him.

 It was a long show and we were ready to leave before the end, but the girls wanted to stay.

 Caroline likes to try and curtsy.

Jellystone Park

Our first camping trip was a big success!  We wanted to ease into camping so we decided to stay at Jellystone Park.  We slept in our tent, but Nonnie and Pops had a little cabin not too far away.  We used it to take a shower.  No need to rough it on our first time out in the wilderness!

 Setting Up the Tent

 It wasn't surprising the first thing the girls did once the tent was up was dig through their suitcase and change clothes.  They change clothes all day every day!

 After camp was set up, we headed out to fish.

 Examining the Worms

 Abby is a serious fisherman and wants no help.

 Caroline hangs with it for a few minutes.

We caught one!

 Serious Discussion with Little Bubba in the Tent

 Pics with Yogi and BooBoo

 Hayride- As we drove around the park on this hayride, we were supposed to wave at people we passed and say "hey, hey, hey!" It was pretty funny.

 Adding Sticks to the Fire

We needed a perimeter around the fire.

 Time for a Game

 

 Hotdog Time

 S'mores were delicious!

 We had a hungry visitor!  He kept coming back to our site and actually ransacked a tub of food during the night.  We thought it was in the cab of the truck, but it was in the bed.  Oops!
