We had a very fun weekend last weekend. Joe and I were able to take Friday off and head down to NC early. Of course we hit traffic going down there in VA and when you are traveling with a 10 week old you kind of can't really hurry persay... On Friday night we went to a fall festival with Caleb, Adrienne, and Ben. Ben was a Lion and Abby was a Giraffe. So Adrienne and I were Zoo Keepers, she was a lion tamer and I was a giraffe keeper. We made shirts with their pictures on the back. And Caleb and Joe were the "Zoo Poo Crew" =) Caleb really got into it and him and Adrienne did a great job on their costumes. Joe was not too excited but he eventually came around! They wore white hazmat suits with "poo" (brown spray paint) flung all over them. They had Poo 1 and Poo 2 hats, Joe had thigh high fly fishing boots on and Caleb had on green rain galoshes. They looked hillarious and to keep in the spirit of things Abby even provided dad some poo to clean up =) We were waiting in line for the hay ride and she just let everything go! So we didn't make it on the hayride.

We will have pictures soon we just left our camera at the Pritchett's house so they are mailing it to us!

Saturday was Campbell's Homecoming and our 5 year "reunion". Campbell got a football team and this was the first year. We are going to have to give them a few years to get a little better. I don't think they have won a game yet and they definitely didn't come close on Saturday. I believe the final score was 42 to 0! Go Camels! ;) It was about 80 degrees outside so Abby and I didn't really make it too long at the game. They didn't allow strollers so I had to wear the Ergo Baby sling which has a quilted insert and she was in a long sleeve sleep and play. So we were both sweaty and hot. But we and all the other moms with babies found AC at the student center. It was so awesome seeing everyone and A LOT of people had new additions! Andrea, Joseph and Leela came all the way from Oklahoma! She was the oldest out of the group of babies. Then Megan, Mark, Maebry, and Clarke came from Charlotte. Angela, Jimmy, and Joshua came from Richmond. Beth and her husband John came from Mt. Airy, NC. So there were babies babies everywhere. I know I am probably missing people! After homecoming we went back to my parents house and they babysat Abby while Joe and I went to Jon and Katie's for a little get together. My mom and dad were so excited to watch Abby and everyone at the party with kids were so jealous that we could drop her off with them =) There were so many people that we had not seen in such a long time. It was great to catch up with everyone and to see familiar faces. Jon fried a turkey, cooked hamburgers and chicken and they had a firepit outside. We had a great time we just tire out much faster than back in the day. By 10pm Joe and I were holding our eyes open! This is another reason we forgot the camera =)
