Future Auburn Tigers

We had an amazing weekend visiting our Alma mater, Auburn University.

We stayed on Lake Martin with our friends Trae and J and their little girl, Addyson. Allie and Addyson are 1 week apart in age and play so sweet together. (We had a great visit guys....appreciate the invite to stay at the cabin!)


Gabe tailgating at his first Auburn game....complete with a little chicken hanging off his mouth.





I couldn't resist buying this little AU hat. This is his first ball cap and he is having to get used to it....but he WILL wear it!



Gabe loved exploring and played, and played, and played on these stairs behind him.




Blue 42, Hiiiiiiiieeeeke.


Allie and Addyson found some neighboring little girl tailgaters whom they wanted to play with. But, they just stood watching and wishing the girls would invite them into their game of tug-of-war. This picture breaks my heart. Girls, you'll always have each other!



This is Auburn's tiger walk (the team walks through the crowd into the stadium). In my 4 years of going to college at Auburn, I NEVER saw it like this. It was crazy hot and crazy crowded.


The kids were a bit small to take into a game like this, but we had a great time! Gabe will never remember it, but Stephen and I definitely won't forget it. Allie was cheering along with the crowds, "War Eagle" and "Come on D". Gabe was too busy throwing popcorn and pushing the poor guy sitting in front of us to even notice the football game.


One of my favorite parts of the game was when the eagle was released in our section. Always such a rush to see him circle the stadium with everyone cheering "Waaaaaaaaar Eaaaaagle, Hey".



See you in 2025.

Looks like you guys had a great time! If you have any tips for taking a baby to a football game, please send them my way--we are taking Arden to a Michigan State game in October and I'm sure I will need lots of ideas to keep her busy! Hope you are doing well--Allie and Gabe are absolutely adorable!

Glad yall were brave to take them to the game. Looks like yall had fun. I told Zach that we can not go to the 1st couple of games bc it is so hot. I can not believe Gabe will wear that hat, what a stud.
