It has now become somewhat of a tradition to make a trip down to U of I each Fall for a football game, time on campus, and a visit to our favorite apple orchard (Curtis Orchard). This year, we FINALLY had great weather - after several years of serious yuck!
The kids had fun hanging out at the tailgate with family and also loved going to the football game. Caleb has been going to the game for a few years, but the other two got to experience it this time as well. They didn't have as much interest as Caleb, but still had fun taking it all in. Joel did not like the loud noises from the fireworks and band, but we finally found a solution to that by tying his sweatshirt around his head/ears!
We enjoyed walking around campus for awhile and seeing some of our favorite spots. The kids are starting to recognize some of the landmarks as well - proud Illini parenting moment!
Our trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Curtis Orchard for some yummy apples and (of course) donuts!
