A Win is a win

We had a great time in Auburn this weekend. While it seemed that at times the kids provided more excitement and entertainment than the Auburn offense did, at least the Tigers came away with a win. Even with Peyton Manning on the sidelines, the Vols could not eek this one out. It could be a long season for the big orange nation.



We spent Friday night in Montgomery. We let Caroline sleep in the bed with Anna which was quite an experience. The girls were excited. Midway through the night we heard a thud as Caroline rolled off the bed!! The next night we were sure to surround her with pillows....


Saturday was a long, warm day but we enjoyed reuniting with our friends and tailgating the morning and afternoon before the game. My coworker Wade (very faithful Vols fan) met up with us and walked with us to the stadium.



The girls had fun at the game not only with everything going on around them but by entertaining those sitting near us. Anna told me that she hoped Tennessee stayed at 6 points so Auburn could win. At least the better half of her wish came true. After the game was over we took the girls to Toomers' Corner and let them "roll the trees" which is a huge tradition after every Auburn football win. They got in the middle of the action. Anna said it was "too hard" to make the toilet paper stick. They enjoyed it even so.



We stayed in Birmingham on Saturday night to be closer to home to make Anna's soccer game. The girls passed out in the car and never moved when we changed them into their pajamas and put them in the bed in the hotel. Gary and I were a bit shocked by the Alabama/Georgia game as we listened the whole time in the car. The end of Auburn's season has us hosting Georgia and visitng Alabama....could get messy!!

All in all a great weekend. War Eagle!!
