Orange Effect

Everyone was in orange for the VT football game yesterday, including the players, cheerleaders and even the Hokie Bird! It was a sea of orange all through Blacksburg on the way to the game and it got even oranger (is that a word) as we got closer to the game.

Nana and the kids before the game. Thank you so much Nana for coming down and visiting us. I know it is hard to find time but we are so glad you came. We wish you could have stayed even longer. Tabitha was very sad and confused this morning when she woke up and you were not here.

Tabitha had some help from "up-high" with Daddy when her legs got very tired. She loves sitting on his shoulders.

It was a VERY long walk all over campus to park the car, pick up Nana's ticket, eat lunch in downtown and get to the stadium. Tabitha managed to walk almost the whole way. Ethan and Nana got tired though. Don't they look cute! Uh-oh, Ethan is going to be as tall as Nana soon!

Ethan and Tabitha had so much fun at the game. They behaved very well and screamed and yelled with the rest of the fans. Tabitha's favorite cheer is the "Let's Go" "Hokies" that the whole stadium does.

They shot the cannon off inside the stadium before the game. This is poor Tabitha's least favorite part. They place the cannon right below where our seats are so it is extremely loud. She covers her ears a lot at the beginning of games. They also did a fly over before the game which Ethan LOVED. Tabitha again had to cover her ears. The pilots flying the jets were Virginia Tech alumni and Georgia Tech alumni which was fun. They were on the field after half time. We had a hard time figuring out how they did that so fast and where they landed those jets.

Tyrod Taylor played for the whole game. Yay!
