Go Pack

       We all went to the NCSU vs Clemson game on Saturday with the intention of going for a little tailgate fun and knew we would probably only stay for the first half.  Clemson was #7 and we didn't think we had a chance.  We had fun tailgating with Grammy, Pepaw and Jon.  Pepaw got his dish working so we watched some other games before heading into Carter Finley.  Food was yummy as usual.  I made some mini pineapple upside down cakes,  Pepaw's favorite!  I will be sure to share the recipe in a future post.
       Avery had a good morning nap, so she was such a good girl all tailgate.  She likes to suck on her overalls. The weather was perfect and we were glad for a fun tailgate before what we thought was going to be a beat down!  We even got into the game in time to see both teams run out...this never happens! 

 This precious girl has been to 2 NCSU away games and hasn't missed a home game this season.
Look for her picture next week on the big screen at the Maryland vs NCSU game. 
      We were so excited when NCSU scored the first touchdown. Clemson had a field goal, but we got another touchdown.  We couldn't believe how well the pack were playing.  It was such a fun and exciting game.  Avery took her typical first half nap in Grammy's arms.  Don't know how she always gets her right to sleep with all the noise and jumping up and down.  We were up at the half, the weather was still great and we agreed there was no way we were leaving.  The pack came back out in the second half and continued to play awesome. 
      
     The band comes up to some of the rows each game.  When they came near us earlier in the season, Avery cried because it was so loud. We had a section of Clemson fans to our left and they band came up right between our section and theirs. While they were playing State fight song, the Pack scored another touchdown....it was so much fun!  No tears for Avery this time. I think her toboggan help muffle the loud music and cheering.
      The Pack won 37-13 and we had a blast.  The last 2 home games were definitely worth our season tickets.  Next week they play Maryland at 12:30pm.  We are going to have a fun tailgate with friends and family.  Avery will have both sets of grandparents at the game. Come join us for a fun Low Country Boil and Brunch tailgate.  You don't need tickets to get in on the tailgate fun, and if you want tickets there will probably be plenty available since the students will be on Thanksgiving break.
