Sarah, Dana and Hannah at Tiger Plaza
It had been a long time since we had seen the Lowes and we were excited they were coming up for a visit. They came up Friday afternoon to spend the weekend and enjoy the Mizzou Homecoming festivities. The kids were off school Friday so they arrived early and I went with them to lunch. Then I took Dana, Hannah, and Sarah on a tour of campus. Hannah is considering attending Mizzou so we did a little campus tour, it would be so great to have her close to us again and have another MU graduate in the family!
We returned home and the kids and John got home from school and work. It was nice to sit around and catch up on everything while the younger kids played. They had a huge nerf gun war and I am still finding bullets under furniture and in closets.
Then it was time to head to house decorations. House decs are a Mizzou Homecoming tradition and the kids love going! We stopped first to visit some friends of the Lowes and load up on Shakespeare's pizza. Then it was time to walk to greek town. I think everyone liked seeing all the decorations and the kids enjoyed the skits. The theme was homecoming through the ages and it was fun to hear the slang thrown in from the different decades and to listen to the music they chose. We didn't see them all since the weather was cold but we saw plenty to get the experience.
Saturday was the homecoming game. It was an eleven o'clock game which didn't leave a lot of time for tailgating so we decided to head in just an hour before game time. After snagging about the last two parking spots we walked to the stadium. We made a quick stop to visit the Lowe's friends and John and I dreamed of having a tailgating spot in their lot someday.
The game ended well for the Tigers with our first SEC victory! Then it was back to our house for a big meal and more family time. It was a busy but great weekend!
