BU Homecoming: Oldest, Biggest, Best

This weekend, our section of the Baylor Line, including my Mom, Dad, Patrick, Debby, Jeff, Avonlea, and the five of us assembled in Waco to celebrate Homecoming.  It was so much fun seeing old and new friends, joining in all the festivities, and being a part of what the Smithsonian has officially proclaimed the oldest, biggest, and best homecoming in the nation!

We started the weekend with a visit to Judge Baylor.



Friday night's festivities kicked off with Singspiration at 7th and James Baptist Church.

Although RG3 wasn't there, his Heisman Trophy was on display for all Baylor Bears to see.  The line to take a pictures with it was huge by the time bonfire was about to start.  Glad we got there early!  We also bumped shoulders with David Murphy, a Texas Ranger, at bonfire.  Big sports moments for the boys in our group.


Bonfire!



Pigskin Review started at 10:30 on Friday night.  My parents had some of us out way past our bed time.  :)
There were some technical difficulties with a float, and the parade had to be re-routed, but all was still well in Bear Country.



Campus Life:  Old friends and green and gold swings.


Baylor defeated the University of Kansas in football on Saturday afternoon.  It was Liam's first time at Floyd Casey Stadium.  Sic 'em, Bears!

Another great Homecoming weekend full of family and BU love!
