We love Fall!!

We love the Fall season in our household!! Of course with Fall, comes lots of football, hay rides, Halloween, Thanksgiving, lots of playing outside, throwing leaves in the air, and playing at the park. Fall seems to be one of our busiest times of year (as if we aren't busy any other time) and is definitely my favorite season!! We have been playing outside a lot since the weather in the mountains has been unseasonably warm. We have also enjoyed Uncle Doug's football games and cheering on the Clemson Tigers (among other teams on Saturdays).

We made it a family affair last Saturday by going to the Clemson game against Maryland. We were very lucky to have dear friends who gave their parking pass to us and we were right outside of the West end zone LITERALLY!! It was awesome!! Ava Grace enjoyed playing in the grass, watching Tiger Walk, playing with her cousin Carson, and cheering on the Tigers during the game. By the end of the 1st quarter, she was able to use her arms to chant C-L-E-M-S-O (with the round about)- N!! It was too cute!! When the crowd yelled and cheered, Ava Grace said "woo hoo". The university retired CJ Spiller's jersey which included a very touching halftime show. For those of you who don't know, the Tiger band always spells out "Tigers" in cursive on the field before the game. So, during the halftime presentation, they spelled out "Spiller" and CJ dotted the "i". Super cool!! The Tigers came away victorious which always brings a smile to our face!!

On Sunday, Ava Grace and I went to Kendall's 3rd birthday party at High Flight Gymnastics. Needless to say, Ava Grace had a fabulous time!! She loves to tumble and being able to run and jump into a foam pit helped make her day!! We had a great time catching up with our friends Willie and Christine (the parents). Ava Grace was not ready to go, but of course it was time. We entertained her next by going to Fall Festival at our church. As you can tell from the pictures, it was another good time for our little girl. Cece came up and was able to go with us too. Ava Grace enjoyed face painting, jumping in the bounce house, fishing for Jesus, sliding down the inflatable slide, hayrides, listening to the bluegrass band, making a hat, and wandering around the pumpkin patch. We ended up spending 2 hours there, but had a blast!!

I am sure there will be more Fall activities to tell about. Stayed tuned to our next adventures!!
