Clemson Homecoming

This past Saturday was Clemson's Homecoming.  We headed to Bowman field to look at all the floats.







 I was so glad I got to see my old college friend, Kristen, before the game!
It was a night game (and not a very good game) so we made it through the first half and headed home to watch the rest.

We had some good college friends come for a weekend.  We had a good tim tailgating before the game.

 So thankful for my friend Sage!
 Not sure what to say about this picture....just know they are #4 & #5 in their families...

Grandpa & Grammy's visit

I'm so thankful for my parents!  I'm so glad they make the time and effort to come down to visit us!  They arrived Thursday evening just in time to make it to the girls volleyball game.

 On Friday we headed to Greenville for lunch and then headed to the children's museum.  Mom and I shared these yummy mussels!  
 I think Dad enjoyed the museum:)
 He was impressed with Bryn's driving skills
I think Jeremy had some fun too:)
 She would do great at a job that required her to talk all. day. long.
 receptionist....grocer....



We enjoyed watching the Tigers play on Saturday!


Sunday we went to church and had some down time.  

And Monday we (poor Jeremy had to work) headed out to do some hiking and sightseeing.  It was a fun day!
We first headed to whitewater falls to see the waterfall.  

 My loves


 my handsome 10 year old
sweet Lu
The leaves were just starting to turn....so beautiful!

After Whitewater Falls we headed north and hiked the Whiteside Mountain Trail in between Cashiers and Highlands. 

 Grammy reading the educational signs along the way

 beautiful views!
 funky smile stage!
 I found a monkey along the trail
 He found the perfect hiking stick
 I love this girl and big smile and personality!

 she notices the small details in things!  I love it and reminds me of myself as a kid.
 I love the colors of Fall!

 Oh how I pray they'll be friends for life!













After the hike we drove into Highlands for some strolling and food.  Then we headed to Dry Falls.  So neat how you can walk behind the waterfall.  


I love you Mom & Dad!  Thank you for another wonderful visit!  We are so thankful for our time together!
