Raining cats and dogs

The last home football game for tailgating was interesting because it rained most of the day.  When we arrived it wasn't raining but by the time we put the tent up it started sprinkling.  So we headed down to Walmart to get some tarps to put up on either side of the tent.  We made it back and put the tarps up just in time before it started to downpour.  It rained most of the day and the tent sprang a few leaks but thankfully it wasn't over the tv.  It stopped raining at 3 so everyone could enjoy some nice cooked steak tacos before going to the game. Hopefully the next game doesn't rain!

I got to pet Bessy the cow.

Tailgating it up

This past Saturday was the first Razorback football game of the new season.  The mark of football season means that we'll be spending time at Bacon Lovin' Tailgate (BLT).  This year the guys went all out for tailgating.  Greg bought a television and a generator and Chris got his parent's old DirectTV dish.  The more stuff they get means the SUV gets loaded down with stuff.  Thankfully everything arrived safely, although we almost lost the grill getting there and coming back.  But I think that they have figured a way to make sure it doesn't fall off for next time.

The grill was almost on the ground when we got there!

We made it!!!

I loved being able to wear my Razorback Toms to tailgate.

After everyone went to the game I stayed down at tailgate to make sure nothing got stolen.  Plus I don't like football so I got to watch whatever I wanted to once everyone left.  I was shocked at how many people approached me for things.  One lady wanted a water and some other people wanted cups and napkins.  Several guys tried dropping their wives off with me and there were a lot of guys who were upset because I wasn't watching the football game.  It was a little creepy sitting there by myself but thankfully Becky came back since she wasn't feeling good.  Next time I'm prepared to answer everyone with no leave me alone!  Other than that the day was great and we're ready for next weeks game.

Watching Star Wars is much better than going to the football game!!

B.L.T.

This post is a little late but I figured that I needed to update our blog. In the past month we have spent hardly anytime at home. Last week we were only home one night all week. It seems like our social calendars keep getting more and more packed. Most of our time has been spent with our smALL group (The Wolfpack) or with family and friends. One of the things that we have been doing the past month has been going to Razorback football games and tailgating.

This year Chris and our friends, Greg & Becky, decided to start tailgating on their own. There was a lot of drama involved in the place where they use to tailgate at so this year Greg got a parking pass and we are doing true tailgating. I actually went to the first game this year and did my first ever real football tailgate! It was a lot of fun and I managed to make it through the whole game. Although I can promise you that this will be my last game to attend for 3 years. I'll hang out at tailgate but I won't go the game. The only bad thing about tailgating is that the Xterra is completely packed when we leave!!If you are wondering why I titled this post B.L.T. the name for our tailgate is Bacon Loving Tailgate! We just need to make sure and have plenty of bacon on hand!!
