Homecoming Weekend...

This weekend was Homecoming/Alumni/Parent weekend at the girls' university. We had a wonderful day with them. The weather was perfect.... a chilly autumn day with bright sunshine. There was a delicious lunch (sorry forgot to take pictures, busy stuffing my face!). They served butternut squash soup, salad, green beans, cranberry chicken, pumpkin ravioli and apple crisp for dessert. I ate every thing...no surprise there.

This is our oldest daughter Courtney and her boyfriend Courtland...he also attends the same university. So glad he's with her...especially when they are lost driving to the movie theater and they call me at midnight for directions!!



Here is our other daughter Kelsie (on the right) with her 2 room mates Emily (center) and Amber (left). They made the dance team for the school and were doing their routine for every one on the school's quad for the autumn festival.



They were excellent!


That's Kelsie in the center.


The festival had games, crafts, fundraisers and more food...cotton candy



Freshly made kettle corn...it's sweet and salty and soooo good.



Here we are sharing a bag of it.



Fresh pressed apple cider...hot and cold.



and we can't forget the freshly dipped caramel apples.







Here's hubby patiently waiting for us in the blinding sunlight while we were all in line for fried dough or some call them dough boys. Too funny how Kelsie's gym bag matches his outfit, but I'm absolutely positive that thought never crossed his mind.



They had live music too. Dan Mills was wonderful.



They had a bounce house, pumpkin painting...



and tons of carnival games.


It was the best day. We always hate driving away and leaving them behind. They'll be home for Thanksgiving in November, but I think we'll see them before that. Miss them all to pieces.

Take care,
~Karen~
