A House Divided

We spent a weekend in Iowa with the Campbells for the Illinois vs. Iowa game.  It happened to be Iowa's homecoming and Auntie Amber and Uncle Brian offered to drive the kids over early so they could catch the homecoming parade.  Needless to say I had no idea what kind of abuse they would expose our young innocent children to!
I mean what is this? Only at an Iowa parade.  And my children are only smiling because they had no idea what was behind them!  Thank you Iowa Alumni Association for sponsoring this float!
 Well long story short Illinois kept it close, until we didn't and we lost.  Go Hawks!! No, we did not say that!  And even though they made it to the Big 10 championship game and had a wonderful season, blah, blah, blah...we really only wanted them to make it to that game to see them get beat.  Go State!  (really we did say that - love you Aunt Sara!! Go Sparty!)
Cousin Love! 
It was ok that the Illini lost because we headed back to the hotel and stripped our orange and blue off and put on our Cardinal gear, because surely they would beat the Cubs.  And yet again we had to quickly change our clothes, as the Cubs beat us too!  Not a great fan weekend for us Paulis but we had a blast!
