We were down in McRae this past weekend visiting Bryan's mom and step-dad and also going to his HS reunion parties--we had a lot of fun! Friday night, we went to his high school's football game. Lily was very interested in the marching band and the cheerleaders. At half-time, the homecoming court was presented and she loved that as well--she thought the girls in their pretty dresses were princesses. It was good she enjoyed herself, because the game was an absolute embarrassment for Bryan's HS--we left at half-time when the score was 36 to 0!! On our way out, we went to meet the "princesses" which Lily stared at with complete awe in her face--some of them clearly thought Lily was big weirdo, but most were nice to my child who was in love with them!! As we were trying to leave, we also had to pass by a fight!! Well, I guess you would call it a fight...some guy was starting trouble, and the cops yelled at him to leave and he did!! However, bad guy #2 refused and got into it with the cops and they slammed him to the ground in front of everyone! He continued to wrestle with him and they had to do it again, this time so close to the cop car that they knocked the mirror off of the car with his body! His mom or aunt or somebody was there and yelling and freaking out and people had to tend to her as well. It was quite exciting! I was, of course, freaking out and though Bryan was trying to help another lady get her car out from all of the hullabaloo, I took Lils and waited in our car. I didn't want us anywhere near there if a riot was about to break out!
Saturday morning, Lily colored on a pumpkin with her Grandma and then we went to the reunion cook-out for lunch. Right next to where the reunion was, there was a playground, which we walked to and played and saw turtles! Also near where we were, was a fall festival, so we also walked down there and played for a bit before heading back to Grandma and Grandaddy's house for naptime. That night, Bryan and I got to go out and leave Lily with her Grandma and Grandaddy to go have some fun at the reunion party. Unfortunately, most people there were not people that Bryan was close with, but we had lots of fun hanging with Ramsey and Robin and seeing the people that were there.

My dare-devil of a child--she loves to jump off things!! Her Daddy had been waiting there to catch her, but she made him move out of the way.
