Blacksburg Weekend

We headed out west for our annual trip to Blacksburg to visit Uncle Mop, hang out on campus, and cheer on the Hokies.  And of course, it didn't disappoint.

that's it... my favorite sign

gorgeous sunset heading into town

So we have a new favorite thing... and it's called the Hokie bird.  This Hokie-heart is overflowing, that my girls love the Hokie bird so much.  When we went to Kings Dominion in the Spring, they were terrified, and now things have drastically changed.  A few night's before our trip, they were up at 1am talking about the dang Hokie bird!  After dinner, we found a Hokie bird statue nearby and the girls freaked out.  Laughing, squealing, hugging, and kissing!

Ella is one happy girl

Hokie bird kisses from Sydney

We made it back to Motel-MacInnis, and got a good night's rest before visiting Admissions and hanging out on campus.  Another day, another Hokie bird, more happy girls.

They also had so much fun running up and down the halls of Admissions, and sitting in Mildred's chair.

kisses for Uncle Mop

After we had pizza with all the MacInnis' (including Ian + his clan), we went to the Rawlings' for s'mores.  Their view is to-die-for.  We watched the most gorgeous sunset and there were even cows back there moo-ing.  Such a perfect place to be <3

Grayson and Luke had sooo much fun with the twins

Toddlers' first s'mores

morning snuggles with Daddy.. and the two of them didn't stop holding hands

It's Game Day!
I can't say how lucky we are that we have folks that love our girls so much, even far away.  They had a blast with Kim & Brian, so Daniel and I could cheer on the Hokies <3

tailgating with our favorite Hokie neighbors

went on a walk with Kim, Brian, and Alice - and Brian was running for his life from those two little monsters!

Here's a rock, sissy.

Before we ate lunch and headed home, we took the girls to the Duck Pond to feed the ducks :)
