Day 247/365 - September 4

Today is the first game of Auburn football for the season- woo hoo!!!

We were fortunate enough to get two tickets (thanks to Wes's wonderful parents) and only had to buy a ticket for Avery. We headed up to Auburn early, making sure we had time to tailgate.

Avery saw Aubie and we snapped a few quick pictures.

While waiting for Tiger Walk, a nice fan took a family photo of us.

Once we made it into the stadium, we quickly got situated for Nova'a flight. If you've never seen this, it is simply an amazing sight!

Here, you can see Nova (War Eagle VII) on the right hand side of the score board in front of the Alabama Power sign.

Like I said, simply unbelievable to observe such a magnificent creature right there in front of you!

After a not-so-impressive game, but better-looking final score of 52-26 over Arkansas State, we headed over to Toomer's Corner. Avery has been asking about rolling it after the next win ever since she heard about it a year ago. We promised her that the next time Auburn won, she could roll Toomer's Corner. We kept our promise tonight.

Avery thought it was the coolest thing. She had the best time and it was totally worth staying until the end of the game, getting stuck in all of the traffic, driving home while Wes and Avery slept, and not getting home until 11:30. No, really...it was.
