Mizzou Homecoming - Saturday

We got up early the next morning and headed to campus for the parade!  Brynn was SO EXCITED and we couldn't wait to meet up with some friends!

I had a pic of us face-timing my sister at the parade but I doubt she'd want me to post it...you owe me Linz!  She watched a little bit of the parade and watched Brynn getting braver and braver going out to pick up candy!

Wow...one float through out WHOLE BAGS of Skittles...Ryan was excited...clearly.  =)

Getting to hang out with Ryan's cousins Zach and Mollie was so fun!

Then we met up with some friends and walked around campus...it was GORGEOUS!

My freshman year dorm, Mark Twain, has had QUITE the face-lift.  Wow...it was looking good!

My mom sent some pictures of Emory playing away at the park...

We ate lunch at one of our other favorite places...Flat Branch.  YUM-O!  Guess I didn't get a picture of me and Ashley's side of the table...

 Brynn took a car nap on the way back to campus...

And then when she got up we snuck in to my old dorm (Johnston) to see the inside...major renovations since I was there...girls does this even look remotely like where we lived???

Fancy...

The BSU was doing a special anniversary/Homecoming tailgate so Brynn got to jump in the bounce house and got her face painted.  (She wanted a rainbow...over HER ENTIRE FACE...ha!)  We got to catch up with some people we hadn't seen in a LONG TIME!

Then we started walking over to the football field...quick stop on Stankowski Field where we used to play intramurals...

Watching the players and the cheerleaders warming up before the game...

Brynn even snapped this picture for us!

We may be having a MISERABLE season, but we still love our Tigers!

We had SUCH A BLAST taking Brynn to Homecoming and getting to go to the game together.  Seeing her yell MIZ-ZOU was so special and I think she really loved everything about the weekend!

Mizzou Homecoming -Friday

We left on Friday afternoon October 9 to head to Columbia, Missouri to celebrate HOMECOMING! My mom kept Emory and we got to spend some special time with just Brynn taking her to her first big visit to Columbia!  It was AWESOME! 

Guess she knew it was going to be a BIG weekend...she conked out on the way there...mid-coloring.

We ate an early supper at one of our FAVORITE places...Addisons.  Brynn got to experience some of our favorite food there...=)

Then we drove around campus for awhile and parked at the BSU and walked around...

We posed in front of Johnston Hall...the dorm I lived in with some of my best friends during our sophomore year.

Grandma and Pamaw...I hope you need these down the road...=)

We headed into the bookstore...she wanted EVERYTHING...even the huge stuffed Tiger!  HA!

But we couldn't say no to the Tiger ears and the Mizzou pom-poms!

She even wanted this big gold finger...sorry Brynn!

Then we walked down to Greektown to watch the House Decs...SO MUCH FUN!

Brynn LOVED watching all the skits and we watched quite a few...you should have seen her yell M-I-Z, Z-O-U...it was awesome.

We got to stay with one of my best friends parents that live in Fulton, which was only a 30 minute drive.  They made up a special bed for Brynn...complete with Jaclyn's old Cabbage Patch (I know NO ONE other than our "pac" will get this, but it was hilarious!)  We loved getting to visit with Jaclyn's parents Darryl and Juanita and it felt like old times!  THANK YOU HEIDER FAMILY!

This about sums up our first day in Columbia...PERFECT!

OLD MISSOURI, FAIR MISSOURI...WE LOVE YOU MIZZOU!
