MSU tailgate and game

We traveled down to East Lansing for the MSU vs. Youngstown State tailgate and game a few weekends ago. Lots of fun! It was great to be back on campus.





Amy made her yummy sugar cookies! Footballs for the football game, clovers for ND fans, music notes for the band geeks, and umbrellas for the flooded CO siblings.





Megan joined Amy while the others were at soccer (we missed you!). Grey loved playing made up games with Meg.

The band!





Cheese





We even got Grey to nap amidst the yelling and screaming. He slept all of the first half!





Ice cream sandwiches (of course)





Another family pic





All of us






Sunday, we went to the MSU gardens. Gg was cheese-ing it up.





My little buddy






"Wawa"





We then went to the new Broad Art Museum. It looks like a spaceship.





Justin knew some if the artists on display.





We couldn't leave E.L. without a trip to Taste of Thai!




Best. Pad. Thai. Ever.
