Baylor Homecoming

We love Baylor!  Having both graduated from Baylor AND all four of our siblings went to Baylor AND each of them married Baylor graduates- we have a lot of BU spirit in our family (to say the least). Mark and I have gone to almost every homecoming since we graduated; I think we've missed two or three total.  This year I really wanted to go for the entire weekend instead of just the events on Saturday.  Overall, we had a great time! There was one point at the bonfire when we were each holding  one of the boys and had pretty much abandoned the strollers when I thought we may wait a few more years until attempting the entire extravaganza again.  I looked around and realized we, in no way, blend in with the students.  I was really glad we went to the bonfire because we were able to see the Heisman Trophy! 

It was pretty cool to see the Heisman, too bad RGIII wasn't there as well. 

The bonfire was fun, we met up with a couple friends and had fun catching up.  

There were really nice fireworks after the pep rally right as the bonfire was being lit.  

I was so sad this picture wasn't clear.  Caleb liked the Bear, Brooks- not so much.

This picture cracks me up, we stopped in the bookstore on our way back to the car. 

 I think it is safe to say the boys were a little tired and ready to go! 

The next morning we met up with Eric, Sally, Beau and Ava. We had lots of fun watching the parade!

When a stranger offers to take a group picture, you pretty much take what you can get. 

 0 for 4 with kids looking at the camera.  

What's the prefect way to cap off the parade (given the fact that the line at 

Common Grounds was crazy long)?  A little Dr. Pepper Float!!!

Whenever we are back on campus I like to take Brooks' picture with the Brooks sign.  It has nothing to do with why we named him Brooks, just coincidence there is a dorm with the same name. 

One would think we would have pictures from the football game, but while we were at lunch Mark and I decided it wasn't worth it to take two kids to the game during their naptimes.  Instead the 8 of us went to the Baylor Children's Museum.  It was so much fun for the kids and we could have stayed even longer but it closed.  I would recommend if you have kids to stop by for a bit.

Such a fun day with our cousins! 

We were so glad we skipped the game, there was a long rain delay during halftime and it would have been a disaster having to hold the boys the whole time.  We had a great time with "Plan B".

  It is always so much fun to be back on campus!  Sic Em' Bears!
