Kate’s First Clemson Tailgate

My parents had 4 tickets to the Clemson game this past weekend, so we decided to make it a family affair.  We got to Clemson around 9:15 and then had to walk all the way across campus to my parent’s parking spot at Fike.  It was a pretty long haul with Kate, all of her stuff, all of OUR stuff, and the sweets that Kristi and myself had made for the day.  But, we made it to their space and it was time for Kate’s bottle.  

Tina & Gerry stopped by and got to meet Kate for the first time…

And then it was time for a nap.  We made her a little pallet in the back of my mom’s SUV.  She didn’t seem to mind that it wasn’t a crib…

Around 11:30, the rest of the crowd headed over to the stadium to go into the game.  My mom and I stayed out at the car with Kate and listened to the game on the radio.  Big mistake.  We definitely killed the car’s battery.  Oops. 

Around halftime, we decided to walk around campus so we bundled up Kate and started toward downtown.  

First we made the loop up to Tillman…

And then headed toward the stadium…

What a great day and a LOT of fun.
