Sunshine in Deacon-town!

Army was visiting Wake Forest this weekend, and I have to admit, it is great to have Army come play in your town.  Their fans are super polite, they bring lots of excitement to the game, and from what Emily heard on the sideline....their players don't even talk trash (this is a far cry from the UNC fans who actually booed an injured player a couple weeks back).

 

Emily had to get to the game early, so the girls and I were on our own in the Blue lot....which is definitely NOT the Gold lot....but it was still better than the "Senior Services Lot" of week 1.  We had a Chick-Fil-A tailgate before taking off for the game.

Seriously??....how much do I wish Lily's tongue was in her mouth for this picture....could've been great.

This was the first home football game for us without any rain....so they actually had a pre-game show!  One of the reasons having Army visit is so great is that they bring their own pre-game excitement, including paratroopers bringing in the game flags and flyovers!

Of course, we cannot neglect the Demon Deacon pregame antics that included the Demon Deacon on his ride.....pretty awesome....though not quite as awesome as CJ saying "Deacon" everytime she sees the Demon Deacon.

Again, because this was the first game without any rain, I was able to bring in the high tech camera which allowed me to not only find Doctor Em on the sidelines, but take plenty of pictures of her....like 200....what can I say, I'm her #1 fan.  You'll notice a certain blond doc on the sidelines above this huddle.

And again....

One of the great things about this year is all the experiences the girls are getting.  One of the more lighthearted of the experiences is the number of mascots that Lily has gotten to high 5....here she is with the Army Black Knight horse.

We checked out the seats that Emily gets for each game (we bought the Hill tickets ourselves).  It gave us an opportunity to take a picture of Deacon Hill where we normally sit.

This is a great picture because its got Doctah Em and #3 Campanaro in it....he's one of our best players (and ranked in the top 25 players of the ACC by ESPN).

Lily is pretty good about making friends at these games....here she is taking cover from the sun with some of her new colleagues.

The Doc keeping a close eye on her boys.

The end of game family picture that has become a bit of a ritual for us....we followed it up with a trip to Yoforia for some frozen yogurt :)
