The Christopher Crew

Friday night we went to the LHS game. It was a "blackout" because the team they were playing, Palmetto, has red as a primary color as well. It was a great, close game. Liberty came out with the win and is continuing an exceptionally great season, being undefeated thus far at 7-0.

Saturday we all went out for Clemson's homecoming weekend. We met up with Christy and Tyler and walked around the floats, took pictures, went to Moe's for lunch, etc. Josh and Tyler went to the game and Tillman and I came back home to watch it on tv.

Well, after much harrassment, nagging, excitement, and anxiousness all week, the big game finally happened. More importantly, the Tigers beat the Hokies! For those that don't know, my dad is a die hard Virginia Tech Hokie fan and alum. My brother, Josh, and I are all pretty hard core Clemson fans and alum, and on any other day of the week, we are Hokie fans too. However, on this day (that we have been anxiously awaiting and planning for 4 years now) Dad was on his own. (except he had Mom on his side) So my mom, dad, brother, Danica, Uncle Dan, Josh, Tillman, and I all met up together in Virginia this weekend for the highly anticipated game. We had a blast, although the weather was a bit challenging at times. We walked around VA Tech's campus, visited the bookstore, went to dinner with my cousin Rachel and her roommate, went to Roanoke, ate at The New Yorker, tailgated, went to the game, and got together for a nice breakfast Sunday morning. Here are a few pictures to sum up the weekend. And what a wonderful weekend it was!! GO TIGERS!! :) :) :)

Welcome to Lane Stadium

We loved these tuba players! They were full of energy and having a good time. Here, they are circling around the traffic guard playing the tuba and making up a chant about him. It was cute and entertaining.
