Crazy Fun Weekend

Uncle Chuck came to visit, and the boys had the best time! Jackson was so excited to pick him up at the train station on Thursday. The boys had a great 2 days together while I was at work. Jackson and Brooks did not let Uncle Chuck out of their sight!

We ate dinner at the Smokin Pig on Friday night and then headed up to Clemson to see the Game Day setup! It was a muddy mess, but there was a break in the rain. Downtown was packed with people excited about the game.

There is this hurricane off the coast that does not actually make landfall, but there is also this low pressure system pulling all of the moisture from the hurricane, so it has been raining for days, and it is supposed to get worse.

Saturday morning we watched Game Day, and then we tailgated for the Clemson Notre Dame game at my parents' house because it was pouring rain! The boys and I headed home while everyone else went to the game. It poured and was very windy. Branches kept hitting the house. Because it was a huge game, the stadium was still packed with people who braved the heavy rain. It was a great game and almost gave me a heart attack at the end!

On Sunday we woke up to a flooded driveway and yard. The rain continued throughout the morning. Jackson went to a birthday party that afternoon and insisted that Uncle Chuck go with him. Brooksie and I went shopping while they partied. We finished the evening with dinner at Carolina Ale House. Jackson insisted on taking Uncle Chuck back to the train station. Both boys definitely have missed him and the extra attention.

Thankfully the rain stopped for us Sunday afternoon, but the rest of SC was not that lucky. There has been severe flooding along the coast, and Columbia got the worst of it with more than 20 inches of rain. Thankfully our family is all safe!
