SMTTT

Yesterday, we ventured out to USM for our first game/tailgate experience. It was a bit different from tailgating in the Junction, but it was a great day and the Eagles got a big Homecoming win.We set up a HUMC tent and had a great turn out of students and adults. Ella Kate was super excited to have her buddy Patrick at the tent. They WILL be married one day!
EK's favorite babysitter Rachel was at the tent too. EK LOVED all the attention from the big kids!!

We went to the Eagle Walk. I really liked how they do things. Everyone lines up like at the Dawg Walk, but before the team walks through, motorcycle police officers, the Dixie Darlings, band, and cheerleaders come through on their way to the field. It was a super fun way to do things.
Ella Kate really enjoyed the pregame activities. We were super close to the field and the stadium has a really intimate feel. EK cheered and waved at the players and cheerleaders and just had a grand ole time. She LOVED the fact that the cheerleaders flags said "EAGLES." She kept saying "I see my letter!!!! There are 2 of my letters!!!"
Ek caught a ride back to the car on daddy. It was a great night in Hattiesburg for the Nelson family!
