Green and White Day

 

 

Friday was a beautiful, green and white day at our football tailgate. We arrived on MSU's campus in the afternoon, ready to set up our tent, tables and chairs for a relaxing few hours before that evening's kickoff. A thunderstorm during the game would put a damper on our night, but the afternoon was filled with fun, spending time with friends and visits from our favorite MSU students.

My friend and I in our favorite chairs, enjoying the first cocktail of the weekend.

Everyone in the group brings their share and we ended up with two tables full of yummy food. We love feeding our students, along with their roommates and friends, who stop by on their way to the stadium.

My husband with Melissa - a very proud Dad.

Rows and rows of cars, tents and Spartan fans, having a great time before the game.

Despite the thunderstorms during the first half of the football game, we enjoyed the first win of the season and had a wonderful day filled with all things green and white :-)

Happy Tuesday and Happy September!

  6. Looks like an awesome way to kick off college football season. Here in Canada, we really don't do this. But then we have hockey, hockey, hockey. (I know you do too, but it's not quite the same).

  7. Great pics! It's great that you are all supportive of the team. My son and daughter went to rival universities here in WA state (WSU and UW) so we always had fun with the bantering that went back and forth. My daughter also cheered for the Seahawks ~ lots of football this time of year!! Have fun!
