Presto!

Is it just me or did November go by in a flash? Earlier this month Preston came to visit us in Nashville. I can't believe it was almost 4 weeks ago! What I really can't believe is that my younger yet taller brother is graduating from High School this year and is starting to apply to colleges. We were so lucky that one of the schools he's looking at is Vanderbilt right here in Nashville!

At the top of Preston's "to do" list, after a campus tour of course, was to get some BBQ. So, on Saturday night we headed downtown to Broadway to try out Rippy's. It was a really fun atmosphere with live music and football games on big screens. We had ribs, pulled pork, and some really yummy fried pickles. The guys didn't waste anytime digging into the ribs!

We were so lucky that Saturday was nice and didn't rain! We headed over to a park by our house to play football and go for a little fall foliage walk. It was really awesome having a person to take our picture for us, thanks Preston!

This flag is for you Mom :)

We had a fun time messing around. Hey Mom, here are some "senior pic" shots of Presto :) he was really hammin' it up.

This is what I got when I was walking behind these guys and said " Hey guys, turn around" I'm not even kidding, so silly.

The boys doing their best "Heisman Trophy" poses.

Playing football with Dusty's birthday football.

Playing some pool back at the house.

Some crazy gourd things we found at the farmers market.

While Dusty was at work on Friday we went and saw the Egyptian exhibit at the Frist Museum. It was pretty cool, they had quite a few mummies. Below, Preston making his very own print on papyrus at the museum. He came up with his own design and everything.

Here are some pics from our tour of Vanderbilt. The campus was so beautiful. We saw a lot of squirrels, apparently they have a 3:1 squirrel ratio, 3 squirrels for every student. Pretty impressive!

Here is Preston in one of the dorms. The dorms were brand new and had super tall ceilings( you know 'cause that is really important when you are choosing a school) but really, the dorm room felt really spacious. All the freshman have to live in the dorms their first year.

Checking out the library

Preston looking very collegiate.

In the library foyer they had this neat projector that projected words all over the floor.

The night Preston got here we went to a late movie. In the theater about to see Puss and Boots in 3D! The movie was super funny and we basically had the theater to ourselves!

Thanks for coming Preston! We had so much fun seeing you!
