On the way back from the BYU vs. Ole Miss game, we drove over to Greenville, South Carolina to visit my sister and her family.  We all went to the local Children's Museum for some fun.  Emery and Aleya liked the mini grocery shop.

 Emery and Joel were having a great time exploring the displays.

 Orrin used the giant Lite Brite.

 There was fun for all ages.  Even Joseph found some fun things to do.

 The mini town was fun for Emery and Aleya.

 The water area was a hit.

 Joseph created some hilarious stop-motion videos.

 The upside-down room.

 Aleya treated the stuffed dog at the Veterinary area.

 We really need to visit my sister, Julie, more often.  She's only 6 hours away!

BYU vs. Ole Miss Game 2011

 Off we go to the stadium.  Everyone was surprisingly polite and welcoming.

 Thank goodness for the overcast skies.  It made the heat more tolerable.

 We were so excited to be here!

 Wooooooooooooo!  Go BYU!

 The game was a nail-biter.   BYU had a slow start.

 The cheerleaders tried to keep up morale.

 After some super lucky plays, BYU WON!

What a fun experience to share with our family!

BYU vs. Ole Miss 2011 Tailgate

 We drove out to Mississippi just in time for the BYU tailgate party before the game with Ole Miss.

 We ate lunch with everyone before the game . . . a steep $15 each.

 The BYU crowd was huge!  It was pretty hot and sticky, but at least there was a breeze.

 We are all having a fantastic time, wearing our new BYU gear we picked up this summer .

 Aleya and Amara enjoyed meeting the BYU cheerleaders.

 So sweet!

The boys wanted a picture, too!

 Cosmo Rocks!

Some of the fans were REALLY getting into the school spirit!
