Walk Around

Friday was Homecoming Walk Around, and if you have never seen it, I'm sure my pictures will not do it justice. I had intended on getting there really early, but I was held up in a meeting and was not able to leave work early enough to avoid the big rush! Logan took this first picture of the girls before we ever made it to the house decorations. I think we arrived about 5:45 and they had no clue what was going on.

The pictures of the house decorations that I have are not in any particular order, they were just the first ones we came to, and were therefore easier to photograph as you will see later. The first two are of the FIJI house dec. The entire thing is made out of chicken wire and tissue called pomping. They get points for moving parts and the overall design.

The one below is of the Kappa Sigma house. They actually were not done when we walked by. I don't know if the ever finished in time. I liked the picture of Pistol Pete and the little boy.

At the Sigma Alpha Epsilon House they were playing the girlie's favorite song while we were walking up, Take Me Home Country Roads. They girls were really impressed. It was my favorite one, and had it been working, it would have been amazing. The background was supposed to turn like the billboard signs. It had a morning, afternoon, and evening sky. It would have been even better had it worked!

This next one was Elle's favorite. It is a pirate theme. She talked about that Pirate Pistol Pete for quite a while after we had seen the Phi Kappa Tau House Dec. We even drove by some of the House Decs on Saturday after leaving Logan's House, and she kept asking to see the Pirate one again! She even described it, talking about Pirate Pete and the Pirate Ship! On our way to the requested house dec, she saw the SAE's above and she started singing take me home country roads! It was pretty funny.

These last couple of pictures explain why the photos ended. It started getting so crowded it was difficult to see the decorations, let alone get a picture! Scott told me he heard on the radio there were over 40,000 people at walk around. It was getting hard to walk around right before we left.
