WE ARE...

This past weekend we made the trip to Pennsylvania for the PSU vs. Michigan game for PSU's homecoming weekend.  What a fantastic weekend it turned out to be!  PSU eventually won after FOUR overtimes!  It was incredible and the crowd was on fire!  Our kids had a blast at the game and spending time with their Nanny and Pappy.  It's a great opportunity for all of us to enjoy time together as an extended family.  

Whenever we go to State College for a game, it's typical that we walk around downtown to do some shopping, etc.  Riley needed a new sweatshirt and of course, Andy and I found a few new items to add to our PSU wardrobe as well.  Here are some of the sights from downtown State College that we got to share with the kids.

Pappy and Sissy watching the team arrive.  She loved spending this special time with her Pappy (and I think he felt the same).  He held her up on a big rock so that she could see the busses pull up and the team enter the locker rooms.  She's holding her Nittany Lion that she picked out.  That lion never left her side the entire weekend!

We got a chance to visit some friends while we were at the game.  Some church friends from Manor and a friend of mine from CV.  The kids really enjoyed being at the game.  Riley got into cheering and waving his pom pom with the rest of the crowd.  He was intent on making so much noise that Michigan had to call timeouts and even had a false start.  I was so proud of how well they both handled the game, especially as long as it was!
