Tar!!! Heels!!!!

If you know our family at all, you know we are big Tarheel fans.  And big is probably putting it mildly.  This past Saturday Cory and I took Elise and Ian and Neal and Amanda took their older kids, Emmy and Charles Allen to UNC's game against ECU.  (This was made possible, in HUGE part to my wonderful parents who drove 2 1/2 hours to baby-sit the two little girls for us, so we could go with the older two kids.  Not only that, but they had to drive back the same night, getting home after 1am!!!  Wow!!!  You guys are awesome!!!  Oh, and did I mention they fixed our broken washer to boot?  Seriously.  You guys are the best!!!)

We couldn't have asked for more beautiful fall weather for the game.  We beat the traffic there, got seated early and were set for the game.  Since we had four seats in one area, and four seats in another, Neal & Amanda took the boys with them and we took the girls with us.
 Before we even got in the stadium, we passed a lady selling these cute blue and white boas.  Cory could not pass up getting these for these cute girls.  I think the idea was genius because these were just about the greatest entertainment ever.  And so stylish. :)  We literally had at least a dozen people stop us and tell the girls how cute they were.  But of course...

Elise and Emmy were great cheerleaders and yelled, screamed and chanted with the best of them.

 Cutest Carolina fans--hands down!!!  Love these girls!!!

And just when you thought they couldn't be any more stylin'...you see these fancy UNC glasses and you realize you were mistaken.  Definitely more stylish!! :)  Love it!!!


More cuteness.

Cory and I at the game.  What fun it was!  Cory makes watching any sports game more fun.  He gets into it so much, its contagious and makes it more fun for everyone.

Our seats were in the sun and while the air temp was perfect, the sun was HOT!!!  The girls and I got hot sitting there and spent the second quarter outside eating frozen lemonade and enjoying some shade.  We made it through the third quarter before the sun finally went down and we got some much needed shade.

 What a beautiful day to watch these guys STOMP the Pirates.

It also made for a long day for this cheerleader who does push-ups for each touchdown.  But he doesn't just do 7 more each time.  If the score is 21, he does 21 push-ups.  Imagine how tired he must have been by the time the heels scored 42 points! :)

It was such a fun day, especially with a win for the Heels.  It was nice being there with friends and family.  Go Heels!!!

Looks like you guys had a blast! I miss going to the UNC games each fall (when you do undergrad and grad school at Carolina, you have 6 years to enjoy all the home games!) The girls are seriously adorable, too :)

Your dad is a comedian, huh? So glad we could come down. It was fun for us to be with those two cute little girls at home!
