Mizzou Homecoming!

Last weekend we traveled back to Missouri for Homecoming. We were very excited to get back and to be able to see the Tigers play in Columbia! A big reason we traveled back for Homecoming was for Kyle as he was selected for the Homecoming Steering Committee. Thankfully Jason & I were able to leave work a little early and get on the road a little after 5:00. We arrived at my mom & dad's house at 1:30 and had to do some laundry because Jason had no clean jeans. Sadly, this probably doesn't surprise many of you since Jason & I always seem to be running late and disorganized!

Anyway, with clean jeans and a few hours of sleep we left for Columbia the next morning at 6:00am for the big parade. It was actually my first time to go to the Homecoming parade. We had a good time watching it with Travis, Jessi, Andi, TJ, & Stephanie. Kyle found us after the parade and then we met up with mom & dad at Lonestar (Kyle got to choose-since it was his big day) for a great lunch! Game time was a few hours away, but luckily with all the activities that got to attend mom & dad had a room at the Stoney Creek Inn and we all headed there to hang out for a few hours. After the kids (and Jason & dad) napping a little we headed back to campus. We got to see the Eckler clan at their tailgate as they were cleaning up and to see a few people at the CAFNR Alumni tailgate before we headed into the game. It wasn't a very exciting game, but it was nice to see the Tigers win!

After the game we headed to Shelbina, to Jason's mom & dad's house, where we got to see everyone Sunday for lunch and hang out with them before heading back to Minnesota Sunday afternoon. It was good to see everyone and spend a weekend in Missouri. We are already counting the days until Thanksgiving!
