Last night we headed on over to campus to partake in one of the many homecoming activities planned by the Alumni Association for this week. Monday night was "Hayrides & History." We took the kids to this last year and figured since they enjoyed it so much they would have fun doing it again this year. We were right, they had just as much fun. However last year it was cold cold cold and we had to bundle up in winter coats, hats, blankets, etc. This year is was a gorgeous 70+ degree evening and the kids were in shorts! Perfect night for a hayride and we didn't have to freeze! The hayride is an opportunity to learn about 150 years of MSU history while riding around campus seeing various landmarks! Not to mention the fact that you get to see the beauty of campus in fall. The colors with the old buildings is a wonderful sight to see! Unfortunately I didn't get a whole lot of pictures because my crappy old camera I'm using (remember my other camera is broke), is so slow and the tractor was moving to fast so many of my pictures didn't come out. Plus it gets dark so fast that my crappy old camera doesn't like to take pictures when it's dark. Anyway, here's a few of the good pictures that I did get. First up though is a picture of the kids last year at the hayride.
Here's this years photo. I can't believe how big the kids have gotten in a year. (Sniff sniff) With the weather being warmer this year, they got to enjoy a cookie and water this year, as opposed to the hot cocoa and donuts last year.
Evan loved seeing Sparty there, and of course he wanted his picture with him! (We almost got Em to give him a high five. She's getting better.)
There was a banner to sign for the football team & coaches that anyone could sign. It will be presented on Friday to the team.
Evan signed his and Emme's names and Em colored in the hearts!
The "famous rock" on campus. The rock is painted numerous times for different occasions. It's actually 1/4 of this size. It's gotten this big over the years from all the layers of paint!
The wonderful Spartan Stadium! Evan loved seeing the stadium on the hayride! (In past years Greg's pictures have been used on the stadium like this one shown.)
It was a fun evening on campus once again. Next time I'll be back to share with you my day volunteering in Evan's kindergarten class!
