Great football weekend!

The good news...this weekend's game was at home, in Tallahassee.  The bad news...the game was set for a noon kickoff.  :o(

Because of the gametime and our need to get out of town as soon as possible Sunday, we decided not to move the TeePee over to the stadium.  Instead, we parked in our old spot and had a very small tailgate.
 
Not many people were interested in tailgating, but there were a few who enjoyed the Halloween-themed fare:

* Scary Marys (with skewered eyeballs and Fear-the-celery-Spears)
* Monstrous Mimosas
* Devilish eggs
* Frightful fruit
* Demonic donuts
* Boo-gels (or Bay-ghouls) with ghost guts
* Petrified pumpkin bites
 
 

Scary Mary

Frank, Christian, Katie, Nick, Lori and Super Nole Alden

Timing worked out perfect! 
The Villellas and Astors arrived about the same time and
we are all able to spend a little time together.

The team arrives!

Renegade and Chief Osceola

The Marching Chiefs (and cousin Mary's son, Sidney) enter the field during halftime.



It was a toga party on the field!!

On Friday, Frank spent a better part of the day wheeling and dealing.  Thankfully he doesn't get attached to vehicles as it was time to get a replacement.  

 The dealer made him a nice deal on a new car, but wasn't as generous with the old one.  So, having "the power of NO" on his side, he stood his ground.  No worries.  It's not like we had to do something this weekend.  Well, low and behold, as we were on our way to tailgate, the sales manager called to say he was able to work some magic. 

And after some education on all the bells and whistles, we left with a zippy car. 


All in all, it was a good great weekend.  And, the Seminoles won!  (34-0)  It will certainly make for a better trip going to Boston!
