We had another fun-filled weekend this past weekend in Auburn! Auburn played Florida Atlantic University (FAU) at home on Saturday, so we headed down Friday afternoon to get ready for it!
When we got down there Friday, we had dinner with Granna, Poppy, and Aunt Chrissie at Cheeburger Cheeburger in downtown Auburn. I don't think I've been there since I was in college, so it was fun to go back and reminisce, plus eat some awesome food! It was so good!
Saturday morning we got up early, even though it was a 6:00 pm game, but there isn't any sleeping in when tailgating is involved! The normal crew didn't tailgate this week, so Kurt and I had to get it all set up ourselves since we still like to tailgate no matter how big or small the opposing team is! We only used about 1/2 the normal stuff, so it wasn't too bad setting it up by ourselves. We also had help from a few friends, so that was nice.
We got out there around 9:30 that morning, and tailgated straight until 5:30 when we left for the stadium! Jack had so much fun playing out there as he normally does, and all of our friends (plus new friends we met) loved his "tricks" and how much he loves and knows about Auburn! He would tell them all about the eagle ("The eagle fly around in Auburn!"), and the band ("The marching band, 2, 3, 4.."), and Coach Chizik, etc..., plus he would of course play "Set.. go!" repeatedly until he needed a break for some water or a CapriSun! :-)
Leading up to the game itself was a little sad, since Jack wasn't going to this one, but we tried to distract him enough so he wouldn't realize it, but he eventually did when Granna, Poppy, and Chrissie took him away to go back to their house. He really needed to nap, plus no one would be available to get him early from the game when he wanted to leave, so we just figured it would be better for him to watch it at Granna and Poppy's house.
Kurt and I had a pretty good time at the game, it just wasn't the most exciting game we've ever been to, but at least Auburn came out with another win (30-14), making them 3-1 for the first 4 games. The only loss was to Clemson from the week before, but their team looked awesome and even beat a very good Florida State team this past weekend, so that makes us Auburn fans feel a little better about the loss!
Sunday we were able to go see Pops, Granny, and Grandaddy before heading home. They are always so glad to see us and love seeing how much Jack loves to play and how he's growing so much! We even got a cute video of him there saying, "Cool dude!" after his Pops taught him to say that while wearing his sunglasses, but too bad we don't have it anymore because Jack accidentally deleted it from my phone! :-( Hopefully we can get him saying it again soon!
Here are the pictures from the weekend!
On our way down, Jack was still sleepy after his nap and loved on Froggy and Winnie. He kept saying, "Awww..."!
After dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger, we needed to go by the grocery store for tailgating food, and look who we saw there... Daddy Mer!
Jack loved playing in front of the fan at the tailgate, especially since it was so hot!
Our friends Brooks and Lauren were able to come help us with the tailgate (we really appreciate that so much), and Jack loves them and loves to sit with his "Uncle Brooks" and watch football.
Cool dude!
Our friends Keith and Lindsey and their little boy Sawyer were tailgating nearby, so we got a chance to go see them for a few minutes. It was Sawyer's naptime so he's snuggling with his daddy.
When he had enough snuggling, he got back to his "monkey boy" ways and started climbing chairs!
War Eagle!
Jack loves to play with the trucks at Granny and Granddaddy's house
Watching football before heading home!
