So, Friday afternoon I checked Kaitlyn out of school early to go to Auburn and get our tailgating spot. DaddaRick brought the bus. We got a great parking place behind the CDV Extension. (I am a little partial to this place...This is where I lived the 4 years I was in Auburn.) It is close enough to the stadium yet not that close to the "party" area of Wire Rd. Friday night we got the bus all set up. It was flawless. The kids ate supper at the table. I took their picture. PaPaw would be proud! The Good Year blimp was making it's rounds Friday and it went directly over us. Price loved it. Saturday was "game day"! We got up, MiMi cooked us pancakes, and Tim and Tommy got there with the fireworks. Not too much later, our friends from Gardendale got there. We had lunch and Samantha and I went to the stadium to "help" the guys with the fireworks...Actually we just hung out on the field and saw Tommy Tuberville. While we were at the stadium Pat Keedy and Gerald Arrington decided they would teach Price how to "Kick Off". Pat taught him to put his hand up, wait for the whistle, and then run and kick the ball. They showed us this trick after the game.
Since we didn't have tickets for the kids, MiMi stayed out with them during the game. We couldn't get our satallite working so I decided to go back out and hang with them. We went over and watched the game with LSU people. I know what you are going to say...but they were nice people. They actually are "famous" in LSU circles. They are the "Pimpin' Ain't Easy Tailgating" crew. They have a website(www.pimpinainteasytailgating.com) and said to be checking back and we should be on there. They were a hoot. The more LSU was loosing (in the first half) the more they were drinking. They were really cool though. No cussing or anything in front of the kids.
Sunday, we made our way back to Gardendale. We rested and got ready for the week.
Enjoy the pictures and check back later for updates.
