It's Saturday in Athens

So it's the weekend that we have been looking forward to for almost 9 months--the first home game of the Georgia football season! To add to the fun, it was Kinsey's last home horse show of the season as well and Nanny, Papadad, and Granny all came south for a little fall fun.

The weather was beautiful with a hint of cool autumn in the air. After a fun dinner and dessert outing Friday night, we rushed around Saturday morning getting Kinsey all geared up for her show. She had a great day, scoring Reserve Champ yet again in her Pre-Beginner class as well as raking in a 1st and 2nd in Jr. Beginner (which would have been enough points for at least Reserve in that class, had she been eligible.) She's really coming along in her jumping, but unfortunately, she won't get to jump in any shows this year so she can hopefully end up finishing the year in 1st place of her Pre-Beginner class (you can't canter or jump in a show and still be considered a "pre-beginner").






After her show, Jack and I had some fun adult time and a marvelous tailgate RIGHT next to the stadium and in the middle of the Dawg Walk. We had such fun with our pals and enjoying the beautiful weather and yummy food. Too bad the Dawgs had to blow the game at the end, but otherwise it was awesome!

ok....that wagon of bulldog puppies is the same one that I chased around the parking lot last Saturday!! Aren't they precious! But that kinda makes me mad that he is parading them around in the heat every week....
