War Damn Eagle!!

College football offically arrived on the Plains yesterday! It was a VERY pleasant day and I am VERY thankful that I was able to sit outside and enjoy the festivities all around. Seth's p

arents and grandparents came and picked me up around 11:45 and we headed to Auburn for the day- Seth was already there and had the grill ready and the TV was being set-up when we arrived- let's just say, they couldn't get it to work without me! :) After everyone arrived, Seth, Uncle Robert and Mr. Billy (Seth's dad) began cooking for us! We had chicken wings along

with other tailgating snacks (chips, dip, sweets). Mrs. Tammy Jackson brought some pre-made funnel cakes and even when she isn't able to make she somehow has to get us some of them- THEY WERE GREAT!! :) Around 4:00- we all loaded the Tiger Transit and headed into the "heart" of Auburn. Not everyone joined us, some people stayed back and held down the tailgating sight! The Tiger Transit brings you in from their designated pick-up locations (one of which is right where we tailgate) and they drop you off at the Coliseum- which is within walking distance from the stadium. From there we headed towards the stadium and was able to see the band marching in- and while Clark Madison is a HUGE Alabama fan, she really enjoyed seeing the band, flag line and majorettes. We then met up with Karin and Beverly (Seth's co-

worker), hung outside the stadium for a little while before leaving the group for our seats! While Seth, Karin and I went into the stadium, everyone else headed back to the tailgate spot so that they could prepare for kickoff! I won't go into much detail, but we did win (YAY!!) and when we got back to the tailgate spot- everyone was still there!! (YAY!) Last year we didn't

have a TV, so about time for kickoff everyone would clean up and head home so that they could watch the end of the game at home, but hopefully now everyone will be able to stay until the

end of the game with the Dish!! Needless to say, everyone had a great time and we can't wait to do it again next Saturday!!

Below are a few pictures from the tailgating and the game!

Janie Ann's first Auburn Football game- she really enjoyed it when the crowd would cheer!

Seth and Karin- best friends since forever...

Seth and I outside the stadium about to head in!

Even though he is going to be a Bama fan- we still love him! John Gamble at his first tailgate! (Georgia was asleep and I didn't want to bother her for a picture, but I'm sure she will be back!)

The ice cream truck came by and Seth stopped it so that Clark Madison could get her some ice cream- which then brought the biggest crowd of kids EVER over and the annoying ice cream truck music was there to stay until every last kid was served...obviously some people never grow up! :)

The men with the tailgate trailor that I mentioned in the earlier post.

Seth and his Grand-daddy Kenneth- two peas in a pod!
