2nd Annual Razorback Rumble

The 2nd Annual Razorback Rumble was filled with good times and great friends! This year, we made an entire week of it and really enjoyed the upstate. Blaine's high school had an alumni baseball game in which his classmates played the younger guys. Blaine hit a homerun at one point, his team won, and he got MVP of the game!! Needless to say, it was a good day.

Instead of driving back to Charleston for the week in between the game and the Rumble, we decided to stay and camp at Oconee State Park. We had such a great week with perfect weather! We did some hiking, saw some beautiful rivers and waterfalls, went to a fish hatchery, and did some shopping in neighboring Highlands, NC. After a relaxing week of camping, it was back to Walhalla for the big Rumble weekend!

The Razorback Rumble is Blaine's "baby" and he looks forward to everything that it involves each year. It is a weekend event in Walhalla and Clemson, coinciding with Oktoberfest, in which everyone competes in different events with the hopes of winning one of three trophies. This year, we had a darts tournament and a cornhole tournament. The third trophy is set aside for the "random event", but after several drinks, we forgot about it this year. The darts tournament took place at the home of Blaine's best friend's parents (who were VERY gracious hosts). Congrats to Parker for winning the darts tournament and scoring this awesome trophy!

The cornhole tournament was the highlight of our Clemson tailgating adventure. The tournament lasted ALL day but was so much fun! The trophy that everyone wants went to David, again. With his cornhole skills, he may need to make a permanent place for it in his home! Congrats, David!

We ended the Rumble weekend with a celebration at Walhalla's own Oktoberfest..complete with the good ol' Chicken Dance! This is about the time we all forgot about the Random Event trophy.

During our vacation in the upstate, we managed to get some flying in. The area was so beautiful to fly over! We saw Blaine's old home and the Clemson stadium from the air. And, to top it off, we flew with the instructor who taught Blaine how to fly. It seemed like they never missed a beat and was such a great experience for everyone!
