I had to take a picture at the gas station we stopped out because they had this huge sign in their window. Not being able to sell alcohol on Homecoming probably hurt some profits!
Then, we got a little bit down the road and we saw this 'New Driver' sign. Underneath the 'Driver' sign it says 'sorry for any inconvenience'-- awesome! We survived that and headed towards Lansing. In Lansing, we got Mikel's fishing pole fixed (a couple inches broke off the end of it on his way home from his last trip). They were able to fix it for about $2.50 so that was exciting and then headed to Gander Mountain to get him a fishing pole for his birthday. He definitely had a fishing-filled birthday... he got waders, a new pole and a new reel for his birthday and is super excited!
Then we headed to Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge to check out the trees changing colors and the fishing...
After Grand Ledge, we headed to watch Penn State play MSU in volleyball. Penn State is #1 in the nation and beat MSU in an hour and fifteen minutes but it is fun to see such good volleyball; there were over 3,400 people at the volleyball game! The scores were 25-11,25-18, 25-12.
After the game we finished the night at the movies-- good times!On another note, I got to work my first big event at the Breslin Center-- Midnight Madness and it was MADNESS! It was the first time the Breslin Center has ever been completely filled; they've had sell-outs before but literally every seat was filled and we had to lock the doors and not let anyone else in because there were so many people. The event started at 9:30 and there were lines of people by 7:00. The basketball teams signed autographs, Coach Izzo drove onto the court in a racecar, there were fireworks, and the raised the banners from last year. Luckily, I worked at the gate where the family and friends of staff and players were let in as 'VIP' guests so it was fairly calm!
We have another busy week ahead- I have lots of school and Mikel has work and hopefully some fishing plans!
