A Weekend in Tallahassee

Sheila had a craft show she was working this past weekend, so I took the kids to Tallahassee to visit Grandma & Papa Strausser. We had a great time! Julia and I went to the Florida State football game on Saturday, while Hutch got some one on one time with his grandparents. Hutch even got an early birthday present from Grandma & Papa's friends, Maryanne & Larry....a new garbage truck with all kinds of cool features. He loves it! The football game was a great experience. This was Julia's third Seminole game, and it is so much fun seeing Julia enjoy one of my great passions. You will see her "War Paint" in the pictures. She wore her cheerleader outfit with her Seminole Crocs and new FSU visor. She was doing the "War Chant" all during the game, even reminded me to do it a few times. FSU is now 3-0 in games that Julia attends, so I plan to take her a whole lot more, including the game against Colorado in 2 weeks.

It was just a really special weekend. Thank you to Sheila's parents for hosting us and showing Hutch a great time too.
