Thursday Throwback

Found this cleaning out the basement this week. What a great concert! I remember we were on the very top row in the pmac. Hard to believe the tickets were only $20... and that the fee was only $1.50! Ironic-presented by Corona!

Blast from the Past

Found in an old album today:

The Delta Chi house (which isn't there anymore)

 Murphys (which closed forever ago)

Sweet pic-hate that there are spots :(

The Natty!

Ready to Watch the Tigers Play

First pot of gumbo of the season!

 Gumbo found a treat, too!

 Lucy says, "I likes popcorn!"

TIGERS WIN!!! 

We headed to Athens to watch our Tigers play!

 Tigers had a great win!

And you just never know what you are going to see at a fraternity party...

 

Welcome 2018!

Happy New Year!

We watched the Tournament of Roses Parade and wished we were there.

Went for a walk at Little Mulberry Park and followed it up with ice cream per tradition.

Although Bruster's was closed! So we went to Dunkin' Donuts and gave the pups their scoop at home.

Coleman spent the night at a friend's house and spent most of the day in various forms of this:

We excitedly settled in for a great day of football!

 Tigers on the TV and jambalaya in the pot.

The agony of the Tigers defeat was nothing compared to the Sooners heartbreaking loss to Georgia in double OT.

LSU vs Tennessee

Jim and Uncle Gary made plans before the season began to go to the LSU-Tennessee game. Tennessee has had such a poor season that tickets were easy to get and the rest of us decided to tag along a the last minute!

We were pretty excited to see the band go in

We got tickets after we got to the stadium and boy did we luck out on our seats! 3rd row, 30 yard line, right behind the LSU bench.

 And right behind Mike!

It was a great game!

 

Even though the bottom fell out at halftime and we got DRENCHED.

It was a great start to our Thanksgiving break!

College Football Starts Today!

LSU doesn't kickoff until 9:30 tonight, so I made this today while watching OU beat up on UTEP. 

 I love the way it turned out! I just need to find some ribbon to go on it.

Watching the LSU Game

Some of us had a hard time staying awake...

Geaux Tigers Smoothies

(But we all thought they looked better than they tasted!)

How to Submit A College Application

Apparently laying on the table facilitates the process...

College Colors Day 2014

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Good Job, Siri!

Angel Crossing

Spotted on the LSU campus... must have been a Pi Phi!

Day Two-Baton Rouge

Monday morning, after beignets for breakfast, we headed over to the Louisiana State Capitol.

 It is the tallest state capitol in the US, at 34 stories and 450 feet tall.  Leading up to the building are 49 steps, each engraved with the name of the states in order of their entry into the union. (Hawaii and Alaska were added to the top step when they joined).

 We went to the observation deck at the top for a look around.

 Hello, LSU!

 It was cold and windy

 and Carolyn took lots of photos.

 This is the bridge that Huey P had built (along with the state capitol and LSU's football stadium).

 Back downstairs, LSU had tables set up showing off the university's contributions to the state.  

Carolyn saw her veins on ultrasound

 And Coleman intubated a dummy using a tiny camera scope.

 We also looked around the house and senate chambers, and saw the bullet holes in the wall from Huey Long's assassination.

The primary reason for our trip to Baton Rouge was for Christian to do a college tour at LSU.  

(How is that possible?)

 The tour was great.  And who knows?  Maybe there is another tiger in our family's future!

After the tour, we walked around a little more

 and had a little fun in the bookstore.

We love this place!

 After some lacrosse on the parade ground

and a photo op by the live oaks

we grabbed some dinner and headed towards NOLA.
