Michael, Aaron and Mike have known each other 35 years and the Vogel's annual Colts and Crabs party dates back almost as long. Pretty cool to get this crew together----only Julie and baby boy Vogel missing. The generation that started this was all watching on, but next year, we get all 3 generations and the final installment in the shot....and hopefully on hurricane:-)
Last jump in the river of the season....precious cheerleader encouraging the boys into the chilly waters.
Successful crabbing on Susan's dock....
Huge sucker! And THAT's why they call them Maryland blue crabs.
#21 and #22 Virginia Tech and West Virginia were scheduled to play at FedEx Stadium, which has not become any easier to get to since we tackled it in June for U2. But we did discover the most sophisticated tailgate we've ever seen. The RV was converted into a full bar, complete with two TV's showing various games.
The two grills were each about as big as my car and the chef was cranking out every imaginable meat one can grill.
And then the microphone was used to get the crowd on the same page. "Alright, y'all. We've had a great day, but we're walkin' at 6:40. So get your last drink and finish your food because we're walkin' at 6:40. These guys have worked SO hard for 6 weeks and they deserve to have us in there when they take the field. Alright, now let's bow our heads. Heavenly Father, thank you for everything we've enjoyed today, our friendships and help us get home safely. And Lord, be with the folks in Texas, and hug my Daddy. We miss him and I can't wait to hug him again myself. Alright, Amen. Go Hokies!". It was awesome in oh so many ways.
The bet was JIM's idea! Silly WV fan.
