On Saturday we woke up early and got ready to head to Auburn for the big game! We had been talking about it for a couple of weeks so we were all pretty excited. Andrew had been walking around the house for days with a shaker saying, "War Eagle Hey! The big day finally arrived and we packed up our tailgate goodies and Andrew helped Paw-Paw put a tiger tail on the car.

Andrew and Paw-Paw in their all Auburn all orange shirts.
We had a nice drive down there. Annah and I were singing at church on Sunday so we practiced our song and then sang a little Lauren Talley on top of that. Andrew slept for about half of the drive. When we made it to Auburn, we found a sweet tailgate spot! It was even in the shade, so we didn't have to set up our tent.
About 3 hours prior to game time, we started walking around campus. I wanted to go see the new student center and some other buildings around campus. Auburn has changed so much since I was there. Then it was time to go get a spot for Tiger Walk! There were tons of people there, as always!
Andrew had the best seat in the house!
When Tiger Walk was over, we headed toward the stadium. We still needed one ticket so Andrew held up one finger. A nice man walked by and asked if he was just going to sit in our laps. We said yes and he just gave us the ticket for free! (Auburn people are nice like that) Our seats were in the North end zone on row 62 (of 63). We had a great view.
There was a nice sunset too. Of course I think sunsets look better in Auburn! :)

Me and Andrew
He had so much fun at the game. He loved it!
He got really silly with his Aunt Gracie toward the end of the game.
He kept asking me to take all kinds of pictures of him.
"Get some....WHAT?....Yardage...OH"
Dad took a group shot of us by the scoreboard...or at least half of it!
Obviously, Auburn WON, so it was a good night.
We told Andrew that it was now time to go to Toomer's Corner and throw toilet paper in a tree. He got this really confused look on his face and said, "What?!" After a quick lesson from Gracie, he was a pro!
His first toss!
He kept saying, "Mama, this is AWESOME!"
CHEESE!
We walked back to the car and Andrew fell asleep before we made it out of the parking lot. Annah and I fell asleep shortly thereafter. We finally made it home at 2 am. It was a LONG day, but we had so much fun and we all enjoyed ourselves. I had not been to Auburn in 3 years and it felt good to be "home." WAR EAGLE!
