Visiting Blue Heaven

Saturday October 6th we made our yearly visit to Blue Heaven (aka Chapel Hill) for a football game.  This game was unique in that it was called the "White Out" game.  Tar Heel fans were encouraged to wear white so we could white out the stadium. As a Southern girl, I hated it! A man must have planned this, because every girl knows you don't wear white after Labor Day. :)  Evidently rules went out the window, but I saw many girls in white dresses.

For October, it was a really warm day (80s) but luckily we sit in the shade. Jeremy, Owen, and I went to the game while Mom and Oliver went shopping with my aunt.  I do believe though, this was the longest game ever! The first quarter itself lasted a whole hour thanks to penalities and time-outs.




Owen was really into 1 quarter then quickly grew tired and slept most of the 2nd quarter.  I'm amazed that he slept through the cannons and fireworks going off. 

After the game, we tailgated in the parking deck. Owen and Jeremy enjoyed looking over the edge at all the other late tailgaters. 


Dr. Adams brought his big Ramses, which the boys thought was fun. Oliver kept giving him fist bumps. :)

They also "played" cornhole

It was a great day (minus a few poppy potty accidents at the end)! The Heels took home a victory and we brought home another day of family memories. Thanks Nana and Papa for taking us!
