Black Saturday in Boone!!!

Thursday we headed to Hickory for a night with Mom and Dad. Dad was scheduled to have a procedure to remove kidney stones on Friday morning, but got sick on Thursday and Mom had to take him to the ER. I spent most of Thursday night (from 7:30 until midnight) with Mom and Dad at the hospital. Dad didn't get to see the kids, but he is better now and hopefully free and clear of his kidney stones. Pray that he will stay well and not get anymore stones. Mom only got to see the kids for a few minutes on Friday morning before heading back to the hospital. They are coming to spend the day with us Saturday and go to our Fall Festival, so we are looking forward to that time with them!
Friday afternoon we drove up to Boone to spend the night and go to the game on Saturday. We always enjoy going back to Boone...who doesn't? Friday we did a little shopping (window shopping...didn't buy anything!), got Ava some ice cream, checked into the hotel and had dinner with Roger and Denise Critcher. Ava and Jon went swimming when we got back to the hotel. Saturday was fun...we ran into some friends, the Greenhills at the hotel, went for a drive on the parkway, a trip to the Candy Barrel, free lunch with the Yosef Club (thanks Mom and Dad) and of course a GREAT football game! We love to see our Mountaineers play!

The kids got free pizza, and of course loved it!
She is quite adventurous these days...loving the giant slide!
Watching the Game!
It was a little cold and it did drizzle some...but well worth it to see our Mountaineers!
So glad to be a fan of a team like this!
One of the players from Georgia Southern was injured, on the field for quite some time and not moving. The stadium was pretty quiet as everyone waited for him to get up. As they were checking on him our guys knelt on the sidelines to pray for him! How encouraging!
He was taken to Watuaga Medical Center and last we heard on the drive home was okay, had movement and the team was waiting on him to be released before driving back to GA.
