We went to Notre Dame this weekend to celebrate Mike's 33rd birthday and partake in Alumni Band weekend. Friday afternoon we watched the current band march by on the way to practice.
Here come the Irish Guard.
Trombones!
Saturday was cold and rainy but we were on campus at 8 to watch Mike and many friends practice and step-off. Mike is on the far end of this picture.
After they left, the kids and I headed over to visit my Aunt Joan. The kids eat a lot of fruit and amused her with their tales. I was happy to be warm.
Here's George showing his cousin Lucas how to use the card shuffler.
Lia up close and personal.
Dinner.
Lovely and so lady-like.
We stayed at a cabin at Potato Creek State Park south on the city. Saturday night George noticed these pictures in the bathroom. He came out laughing and said "Mom, there are pictures of a kangaroo making a snowman!" When I stopped laughing I explained that is was a deer, not a kangaroo.
Patrick asked to go the Basilica of Scared Heart so we braved the crowd. We were running late and ended up standing in the entryway. We quickly gave the kids a tour after Mass and they loved it. George told Mike the Basilica was awesome and like a castle. Despite my nose being stuffed up, we had a great weekend.
