Clemson

Our weekend to Clemson was great....a little wet, but still a fabulous weekend!! Jenkins was so excited about heading up there with Uncle Mark, Aunt Shannon, Coyt & Kirsten that he could hardly wait to leave Saturday morning. He rode with Aunt Shannon in her new car....which gave Johnny, Worth & I a pleasant, QUIET ride! (Woohoo!!)

We got a couple innings in on Saturday before the game out cancelled and rescheduled for noon on Sunday so that left the rest of the day to shop, eat and just take it easy (my favorite things). Jenkins was all about getting Clemson gear and came home with a new hat, shirt, ball, pen....and I'm sure something else that I'm forgetting about.

On Sunday, we headed out early and explored the campus.....and got to the field early enough to see batting practice. Well, guess who we got to meet??? Kyle Parker!!! Jenkins' hero!! He is the QB for the football team.....right fielder for the baseball team....and the ACC leader in home runs. He was a REALLY nice guy and talked to the kids.....took pics with them and even autographed balls and hats for our kids. We had him all to ourselves! Then during the game, he saw us in right field...walked over and tossed a game ball up into the stands at our boys. :o) Of course, Jenkins wasn't thrilled that Coyt caught the ball instead of him but hey, you can't win them all! I can truly say that the weekend was so much fun...even if the Tarheels won the series of games!

Tickets for three to 2 Clemson vs UNC baseball games $90....gas, hotel accommodations $130.... Clemson loot $78....seeing your child meet his favorite college baseball player - PRICELESS!!!
