Cornhuskin'

I've been wanting to take the kids to Cornhuskin' for a while now, and this year things finally worked out for us to go!  Every time I step back onto the Meredith College campus it feels like I'm coming home.  So many wonderful memories there!

 We arrived in time for the Front Drive Parade.  The kids loved the boats, firetrucks, balloons and candy.  And I loved the sight of an MC tradition going strong... with everyone just as enthusiastic as ever!

 Got to hear a bit of the Big Sis/Little Sis serenade.

 Loved this sign in the Cate Center.

 I was able to meet up with several classmates and their kids.  It was great to see Shannon, Emily, Jamie, and Dianna from the class of '04, and it made my day to run into our class adviser, Heidi!

Not long after the parade, we settled into our spot on Alumnae Hill to watch with our special "light sources."

 It started to get pretty chilly as the sun went down, but the kids were bundled up enough that it didn't seem to matter.

 I was thrilled to watch Hillary, a girl I used to babysit during college perform with our great-great-great Lil Sis class of 2014.  They were so amazing with their Harry Potter-inspired theme, and ended up winning the competition!  It's pretty difficult to beat the Seniors, so it was a proud night for all Evens everywhere.

This was really the only picture I got of the class events, and really none of them do it justice.  As we used to say in college to the incoming freshmen, "You just have to experience it!"  I'm counting down the days until next year!
