snow in happy valley

in october


what a weird day to head out to a penn state game...





we had rain (lots of rain)





we had snow (lots of snow)





we had ice (part of the one mountain had really slick icy roads and there were lots of power outages on and off campus-meg had no power just before game time on saturday)





we were persistent...kept on driving...thinking maybe it won't be TOO BAD...and soon





we had the best parking spot that i could have ever imagined (and we were expecting to end up parking a few miles away from the stadium)





we had a wonderful tailgate party with megan and friends (and we were expecting to be told to take the tent down and instead the man was helping us pick a good spot)





we had fantastic seats that were under cover (so we didn't have to sit in the rain OR get hit with any of the couple hundred flying snow balls)





and we won the game





it was a MUCH NEEDED day away having MUCH NEEDED stress-free family time. i love going out there and seeing megan in her surroundings with her friends having such a wonderful time. she is such a true blue PSU fan.





nothing much else is going on...i am off work for a few days after a long stretch last week.








thanks for checking in and thanks to all who sent megan out a card this week...she was so thrilled





go lions!!
