On Saturday visited Auburn to show the boys game day on The Plains. It feels so right to share a place with so much history for us with our children.
It was an amazing day filled with sunshine, friends, play, lemonade and all the beauty Auburn has to offer up.
About game time we headed back to our friends The Hall's house to watch the game on their TV (you know how expensive tickets are, right?). We started our journey back about 10 minutes later than we should have.
We must have been quite a sight. I was wearing Colin in the mei tai, where he eventually fell asleep. We forced Eli into the stroller. He was not happy but after a few minutes he decided riding wasn't so bad. After a couple of blocks Walker's "muscles got too tired" so up on Jason's shoulders he went. We made it back by kickoff, but only 4 of the 10 legs did the walking.
We are so grateful to the Hall's for their hospitality. Their house was great for game watching, kids playing and littlest napping.
The evening ended with a fantastic victory and some Momma G's.
Let the record show:
We made it home around 10 pm and Colin was still babbling and smiling as I laid him in the bed. That kid is amazing. The other two were out cold. Nobody slept in the next morning, of course.
Courtesy of game day traffic we had our first little-boy-has-to-pee-in-a-cup experience. Not that you care, but documentation is important for future use.
The first Auburn trip, pre-Colin.

Sounds like a fun day. And here's a tip from one mom of boys to another .. carry a washed out Juicy Juice container in your vehicle. That has saved us more times than I care to count. I never leave home without it :o)
Sweet pictures! And though I have a boy, I have to say I really really hope we never have a pee-in-the-cup-in-the-car experience...
