Clemson Homecoming

We had a fantastic time this past weekend visiting our beloved Clemson for homecoming. If you are not a Clemson fan (I simply can't imagine such a thing) you probably don't know what our homecoming is all about. Different organizations from the school work all week putting together floats on Bowman field for judging. There are tons of different activities leading up to the big game. Friday night before the game they put on a huge pep rally called Tigerama. There are skits, musical groups and the crowning of the homecoming queen. We took our children to Tigerama. The kids all loved every minute of it especially the football team rap. Check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq-r1NeFGwk for the youtube video of Josh's new favorite song. He and his daddy sang it all day long on Saturday.
Yeah We're all in.





We were up and going by 8:00 Saturday morning to do a little tailgating and touring some of the campus. The game didn't quite turn out like we had hoped but we had fun in spite of the score. After the game we walked through the floats on Bowman Field before heading downtown to look around the stores a bit. The crowds were huge and as I get older I am less tolerant of them but I do love my school and love sharing it with my children.
