baylor homecoming celebrates 100 years...

our family had a great time. we were able to continue many of our homecoming traditions like going to the bonfire with b, pop, sarah, abby, and kk...

and the bonfire would not be complete with out standing in a really long line for a ride on the ferris wheel...

daddy and o always ride together and i am the photographer. maybe when jack is big enough i will have to be brave and go with him! :)

saturday the festivities continued, we all got up early and headed to campus to watch the LONGEST college homecoming parade in the nation... (betcha didn't know that!)
jack LOVED the BIG balloons (like in the macy's parade) and the girls LOVED collecting TONS of candy...

"look mommy, see them!!"

we also went to the game where we were able to see our extended family as well. b's brother and his whole family come to all the baylor games as well. it really is a family affair! :) kk and o are the same age as eden, so they always have so much fun together...

our weekend plans had been going along just as planned and then jack got sick...

so olivia got daddy's pigskin ticket (just have to go to baylor or have seen it to understand what that is) and loved it!!! her favorite act was the "crayons" and her second favorite was "the fruit." i was happy that she like the "fruit" since that was my sorority and they won 1st place!!

over all it was a great weekend even though jack got really sick and a few of our plans had to change. after each homecoming on our ride home, it just makes my heart happy to think about all the fun family traditions that we are continuing that have been alive in mark's family for so many years. baylor homecoming was extra special this year since it celebrated it's 100th birthday, but really each and every year it is a special and memorable time for our family. baylor might be one of the greatest places on earth, at least to this little bowlin bunch!! :) sic em bears!
