Our Orange Adventure!

Just got home from what could quite possibly be the most fun we have had as a family this fall! Great weather, Hanging with the Fam, Hideaway Pizza, Homecoming Walkaround, Garth Brooks, Pistol Pete, The OSU Cowboys and a Sea of ORANGE! What could be better?

Friday afternoon we loaded up and headed to Stillwater for The Greatest Homecoming Celebration on Earth at Oklahoma State University. When we got into town, we hurried over to look at all of the awesome house decs. Harper has been to Homecoming every year since birth, but the look of amazement on her face is priceless each time. She was in awe! Owen's eyes were as big as saucers as we walked around taking in all of the festivities. We even got our family pic taken with Pistol Pete!

Friday evening we went "Camping" in our vacation home (as Harper calls it!). My parents brought their trailer up to Stillwater and we stayed in a village of fellow OSU "Campers"! There is just something so peaceful about sleeping in the trailer. I guess it is just as close as I can sleep to my kiddos without them being in the bed with me! :)

This morning, Harper, Richard, and Boppy made the short trip home so Harper could go to her T-ball game. Good thing because there were only 3 other kids there! My mom and I shopped around Stillwater for a few hours. I actually got some Christmas shopping done for the kids!

The afternoon brought the Homecoming Parade! Aunt Mel and Uncle Cole joined us on the side of Main Street to take in the parade. It was so fun to see Harper decked out in her OSU attire, pom poms and all! Owen slept, but woke up when the police car leading the parade advised us of its presence...

One of the most exciting things of all...Garth Brooks was one of the parade marshals, along with Barry Sanders and Robin Ventura. There is just something exciting about being that close to Garth Brooks, a fellow Miller!...sorry Barry!

After the awesome parade, we got to take a pedicab ride to Hideaway Pizza to eat dinner. Boy did that guy earn his money. He literally pedalled Richard, me, Harper, Owen, Mel and Cole all the way from the parade to the restaurant. He earned every bit of that tip. Harper thought it was so fun!

We ended the fantastic weekend with The Walk! It was so fun to cheer on the Cowboys as they made their way to the stadium. If only we didn't have two small kids and an 8:15 pm kick-off time, we might have gone to the game. But now we are home in our cozy abode watching the game on TV!

It was a great weekend in Cowboy Country!
