Thanksgiving in Columbia

On Friday we headed for Columbia. We got there around 12:30 or so and had Thanksgiving lunch shortly after. Later that afternoon we went to the zoo to see the animals and the Christmas lights. The kids love going to the zoo, especially Josiah. He loves seeing all the animals and wants me to take pictures of almost every animal.

These lions always pose so perfectly for me.

Sporting their Clemson hats!

Mercy's favorite: the flamingos

Ahhhhh! the alligator!

Aedan with the alligator!

On Saturday, we were ready for the big game! Unfortunately, Clemson decided to wait till the SC game to make numerous mistakes. Why not spread it out a little throughout the season? Or make your mistakes during the Citadel game? Oh, well. I guess there's always next year. Despite the game, we had a fun experience that afternoon. We were out in Columbia in our Clemson attire and we were asked to be interviewed for the news for a small business Saturday story. Below is the story. I'm not sure how long the story will be accessible, though!
