A Little Golden Eagle Fun!

This past weekend we ventured down to Hattiesburg, Ms to take the girls to their 1st USM football game.  It was Homecoming and there were lots of things to do!  Syd booked us a cabin at Paul B. Johnson State Park, just south of Hattiesburg.  We enjoyed staying in the cabin and playing outside.  It was perfect weather!  Here are a few pictures from our fabulous weekend!

Syd and the girls ready to go to the Pep Rally!
