AU Football Season Begins!

College football season is finally here, and we're already 3-0 (by the skin of our teeth, anyway)! That's okay, a win's a win, and I am proud of our team! It's definitely been a fun season so far! So anyway, we headed to the plains Labor Day weekend (Friday night) and stopped at the lake first. Granddaddy Carl had actually been in Charleston for business, and Abby Grace flew back to Birmingham with him on the Thursday before. She was so excited and had a great time on the airplane! I think Caleb was a little confused not having his sister around and also thought at first that he was going to be going on the airplane too. So with Abby Grace in Birmingham, we headed to the lake, just the 3 of us, late that Friday night. We spent Saturday with the Johnsons and then headed to campus to tailgate. It was so great getting to see family and friends that we had not seen in a while (plus, eating tailgate food too!) Then, it was time to head to the game. We decided to take the kids and were surpised to find that there weren't many tickets for sale. We managed to get the 4 of us in with 3 tickets somehow, and the kids' excitement began! Well, Caleb was all about it; Abby Grace thought it was too loud, and it took her a little while to warm up to it. We did stay for 3 quarters and then left to watch the rest of the game at the tailgate. Then, we spent time at the lake on Sunday, and my parents came down to see the kids. Then came the, as Abby Grace would say, "it's a long trip" back to Charleston (only to head back again in less than two weeks for the Auburn/Clemson game). I told you September has been a whirlwind! Especially, since our next day back was the kids' first day of school! Pictures to come!



For some reason, I only have one picture of Abby Grace from the tailgate. I think it's because Caleb was having so much fun playing football that I ended up taking more pictures of him. He also had lots of fun with his granddaddy too, which you can tell from the pictures!
