Krouse House: Hampden-Sydney Homecoming!

This past weekend, Brian and Drake and I ventured up to Brian's old college stomping grounds for his 10 year reunion. We had such a great time seeing all of our friends and enjoying the beautiful weather. I sure did miss little Will though! Meanwhile, he was having a blast with Granma & Granpa in Augusta with a new bubble gun.

10 of the Alums were there: "Bradway, Davey, Grant, Pemberton, Koontz, Krouse, Tully, Neal, Chad and Russ".

Our prime tailgate spot. In the shade, lots of room and very private. We've had the same place several years in a row now because Brian and Grant get up super early to claim it.

Davey telling one of his stories to Bradway and Brian.

Many of my friends have asked if we go into the game. We usually don't, but may walk around the campus and glimpse a sight of it from time to time. This is our view of the field from our tailgate. See that you can see the players and the field but not really observe the action.

Here's a closer view of the field at halftime when we walked around some.

We had two dogs with us. Here is Britney - Grant & Jessi's dog sitting in a tailgate chair so that I could prop my feet up on the "foot" rest and it wouldn't topple over.

Here's Miss Drake! Enjoying the company and weather!

Elizabeth and I. (And Tully in the background with Britney). Elizabeth and I have SO much fun when we get together. Sadly, its really just this one time a year - but we make it worth it!
