Carthage Homecoming Weekend

We had a great trip to Kenosha this weekend to see Drew and take in some Carthage homecoming events. It was our first visit with him since moving him into the dorm about 6 weeks ago, so good to see him. He was very busy with campus activities and not feeling his best ... so we didn't spend a lot of time together, but had a great visit anyway! The kids loved the homecoming activities and a hotel swim is always a treat.

(Click any of the pics for a full size view) First thing Saturday morning we attended a scholarship recognition breakfast for Drew, then he was off to choir rehearsal, parade and game. He is part of the pep band and so had parade and game obligations. We enjoyed the parade and sat close to the band at the game, and they bring lots of fun to the day with their music and chants.

We ended up going to dinner without him since he didn't feel his best, and he really needed some rest before he started his RA shift that ran from 8:00 pm to 2:30 am ...

Sunday morning I attended the homecoming church service on campus where I got to see him sing with Carthage Choir, and enjoy some other campus ensembles. Then it was time to head home and get ready for the week. Good to see him, tomorrow is his birthday so it was especially good to see him right before and take some bday treats!
