Carolina vs. Vanderbilt

It was a great weekend for some Carolina football!  Although it did start out a little rainy, the sun eventually came out and with it the sticky humid air of the south.
The Parks and the Rawlins really know how to tailgate...we had everything from snack food, dinner food, and dessert food to a tv, satellite dish, cornhole boards, and even a fan to keep us cool!
We spent some time watching the Clemson game...
but mostly we just sat around and ate!
All the girls decked out in our Carolina colors!
Jeremy looking very much like Captain Jack Sparrow with his compass trying to  find the perfect direction for the satellite dish.
Go Gamecocks!!
We missed you Josh!!

Lake Murray Adventure

Okay...in August we attempted a vacation to the beach for a little fun in the sun, but Hurricane Irene had other plans.  We still had loads of fun without basking in the sunlight.


Saturday we attempted a lake day, but yet again, the weather had other plans...AND just like the beach, we still had a lot of fun even though it was cloudy and chilly.


Rick rented a "party barge" for day on Lake Murray.  The guy at the marina gave us all the info we needed and sent us on our way.  It was a bit chilly but with the promise of somewhat sunny skies and a high of 72 degrees.


We sailed around until it was time for a bathroom break so we headed to the Wells house.

 By now it was around noon but the wind had not died down so we found a cove to anchor in while we ate our lunch.  At first we thought we would just pull up to the shore, but for whatever reason that didn't work so Jeremy jumped in to give us a push out to "sea."

We had so much food on that boat, I'm surprised we didn't sink!  In fact J and I will be eating lake day leftovers for the remainder of the week.

After another bathroom stop at the Wells house it was time to head home...

but by this point everyone started to get a little silly.


Such a fun day!
