What an Awesome Day

...at least from 2 to 8 PM

After kissing and saying goodbye to Annabella and Sofia (who, by the way, was just as interested in hugging and kissing her own "Nittany Lion Shrine"), we set off for our sept-annual (is that a word?) trek to Happy Valley. Joining us were the usual suspects - the Ridenours and the Wagners.


We set up the tailgate area by staking out our territory - and making sure we had all of the important decorations, including the lights that were not bright enough until the sun went down (and we went into the game) and the PSU jack-o-lantern courtesy of the Ridenours.

The menu for this week? King crab legs, Italian spiced shrimp, bacon-wrapped scallops, and homemade freshly baked apple pie. Mmmm......


While the tailgate, when done right, can be an event unto itself, a football game is as well - again, when done right...... Below is the only good picture I got from the game.


... and then it all went downhill from there.....
