Clemson vs. Fl State

Yesterday was a big day for our beloved Tigers, we defeated Florida State in a somewhat stressful game (with no thanks to our kicking team)! It was a long day for us with a 7:45 kickoff time, but the kids did awesome! They always have so much fun at Clemson, but then again, I think there is something in the air there because no matter what, I am always happy when I'm there! We got to Clemson around 12:40ish and played around our car until my parents arrived. Then we went over to see them, and stopped by to see some other friends along the way. The weather, for a change, was absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't believe I was at a football game and wearing sunglasses! I think that was the first time this year, we could not have asked for better weather.
At gametime we split the kids up again, Andrew with Marc, Mary Mac with Nana and Pops, and Emma with me. Emma was good, but was about to fall asleep in a very awkward position at the start of the 2nd quarter, so I took her back to the tailgate so she could sleep in her stroller, Mary McLean was out there by then, and they played for a little while, around the start of the 3rd quarter, she and Mary Mac crashed. They both fell sound asleep. I stayed out at the tailgate with them and we watched the game on the satellite, I texted Marc and we decided to leave at the beginning of the 4th quarter to beat the traffic. My parents got us hotel rooms in Simpsonville, so we drove back there and put the kids to bed. I stayed with Andrew and Mary Mac in Nana and Pops room until they got there. We got to the hotel around 12:15, my parents woke me up when they got there at 2:55! yikes! Glad we left early! :) We had a great time with friends and family yesterday, and have been lounging and snoozing all day today! So without further ado, the pics from yesterday:
