Auburn v. West Virginia

We made it to our first Auburn game of the season to see the Tigers play West Virginia. Matt's Mom's side of the family was having a family reunion of sorts. Her two brothers and their kids all came too, so it was good to catch up with all the family. Everyone lives in different cities now so it's rare that the whole group is in the same place. Just about everyone shares a love for Auburn, so it's the perfect place to get together!

So far, there are only three kids among all cousins....all girls, getting ready to add a fourth girl to the mix. Hannah Cate had the best time playing with Katie (5) and we had just as much fun watching them interact. Katie was so good with her and about ran circles around her but Hannah Cate just loved watching her and tagging along with her. Katie even let her snuggle up next to her in one of the chairs to watch a DVD towards the end of the day.

It really was such a great day and we are looking forward to taking her back for the Ole Miss game.

As for the actual game, Nini and Deeda were so kind to take Hannah Cate to Wetumpka (to stay with some friends) before kick off so Matt and I were actually able to go to the game. It looked like our night alone was going to be a disaster when the bottom absolutely fell out right before kick off, but we somehow managed to be in the right place at the right time and didn't even get a single drop of rain on us. We hung out in the new Foy until they announced on ESPN that they were going to kick off in 20 minutes. We sauntered into the stadium and enjoyed a glorious Auburn victory.....what a great game it turned out to be. I was reminded of how much I love to be in the stadium for the games....there's just nothing quite like it!
