Samuel is doing marching band at NCSU this fall,
so we thought we'd go check it out!
we picked up my dad in the Whole Foods parking lot,
paid $15 to park in someone's yard,
& hoofed it to Carter-Finley....
overhearing me, you'd think i kept sighting a rare bird!
oh! there he is!!!
we had lots of fun in the sun
following the band around the stadium
& watching them rehearse different routines.
so much fun in the sun
that we felt no need to stay for the game.
we were just there to see our favorite trumpeter, of course.

Samuel & co. marching into red&white sunshine
| not to overlook the arriving football team! |
| if you find me in my straw bonnet, you will see Samuel directly in front :) |
trumpet circle dance
| this is actually from our Labor Day visit...but my mother always sets a pretty table! |
tossing in a couple of photos from Labor Day,
when we visited in Raleigh on the way to
returning Joseph to NCSSM.
| pool brothers, Player's Retreat |
| ladies in waiting (we played pool, too!) |
always fun times in Raleigh!
