Hi friends,

As I mentioned yesterday, my sister (who went to Penn State and met her now-husband there), picks one football game every year for our whole family to go and tailgate at, and this year’s game happened this past weekend, and just happened to be against UMass, which is the college my younger sister went to.

Sibling football rivalry — gotta love it.

Except that UMass didn’t play very well at all. But oh well, tailgating and going to the game was still fun! It was, however, much different to do tailgating with a toddler 😉

^^ My family takes tailgating very seriously. This was just breakfast — bagels with poached eggs and three different kinds of cheeses and ham and bacon. We had all kinds of salads, chili, sausages, guacamole and hoagies throughout the day, too. Not to mention the drinks 😉

^^ As I said, tailgating with a toddler is very different from tailgating without one. The trick is a never-ending supply of new and fun things for them to explore.

^^ Watching the marching band practice was a highlight.

^^ Beer pong and flip cup were highlights, too 😉

^^ Steph’s birthday was last week, so we got her a little birthday cake to celebrate.

^^ Someone’s tired from all this tailgating fun.

And that was this year in a nutshell, my friends. I hope everyone else had a fabulous weekend and is looking forward to welcoming the official start of fall with open arms. (I know I am.)

Bis bald, friends!
