GO TIGERS GO!!!

So, we have not been to a Clemson football game all season and in the past 3 years, I have been to a few but Sullivan and Mike have not been to a single game! For those that do not know, I have been going to Clemson games since I was knee high to a grass hopper. My dad is a Clemson grad and was married to my mom part of the time he was a student there. My grandfather was also a Clemson Alum. So, as it is in our blood, my little brother Zeke and I both graduated from Clemson! My parents have Season football tickets, so we typically go to all the games, or at least as many as we can. Since we moved overseas Mike and I have not been able to go (another military sacrifice :) )and we were dying to go and to take Sullivan to his first Clemson Football game!!! We had planned on doing this the weekend Laurel was born, but...more exciting things happened! So, G.G., Pop, Sullivan and I were planning to go to the Clemson vs Carolina game Thanksgiving weekend! At the last minute Mike called and said he was able to get off of work Saturday and would be driving through the night but he would be there! He arrived in Sumter Saturday morning at 3am, fell asleep until 5am and then we packed the car and headed to TIGER TOWN!!! The forecast called for rain and temperatures in the mid 40's! We were worried but were going to give it a fair shot! After all we had tickets... So we drove in the pouring rain...very slowly... After dropping our car off at Noni's house, we were almost there. Instead of tailgating we had a Chic-Fil-A picnic in the car! We made it to a mud filled parking lot with 5 minutes until kickoff!!! We were so excited that the rain had miraculously STOPPED!!! You should have seen Sullivan's face (and ours)! He was so excited! We were well prepared...with coats, hats, gloves and ponchos! The weather was MUCH better than expected and we were able to watch the whole game without getting wet! Sullivan was a trooper as usual! He cheered, and watched and ate snacks and ran around! He loved it!!! We took tons of pictures!!! AND to top it all off, we kicked some Gamecock booty and touched Howard's rock! What a wonderful day!!! We were all so so glad that we toughed it out because it turned out to be so much FUN! After the game we ate at Wild Wings, one of our all time favorites!! And then said goodbye to G.G. and Pop when they dropped us off at Noni's house for our Curti/Charette Thanksgiving. Sullivan is still talking about "Tiger Town!" He is such a cutie!
