A few weekends ago we made a last minute decision to take the boys to Tuscaloosa and visit their great-grandparents and go to the A Day game. I say it was a last minute decision because it had stormed all week in Pensacola and Tuscaloosa and the weekend forecast was no better. I had no desire to sit in the stadium and get poured on, but we had already mentioned the trip to the boys and there was no turning back!
I’m so glad we went. Although the ground was saturated and the skies often cloudy, it never rained during the day! The boys stuffed themselves with Nana’s lemon bars and even got Nana and Granddaddy to throw the baseball with them friday night. Saturday morning G and Deeda arrived to go to the game with us, and after stopping to buy new Alabama hats the boys got to meet former AL player Donte Hightower. Mac was so cute and called him Mr. Hightower just like daddy told him! Thanks to some friends we got last minute seats in one of the sky boxes. Even though it never rained it sure made it nice to not have about the threat of rain. The windows were all rolled back making the front of the sky box completely open to the stadium. I loved still getting to hear the crowd and the band while sitting in the shade, in a comfortable seat with our own private bathroom. I told the boys not to get used to it, but enjoy it for the day! We cheered Alabama on to a victory :) and went home as happy fans. My boys are all counting the days until football season kicks off!
