This weekend we traveled to Tuscaloosa for the showdown between the Gamecocks of South Carolina and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Zetta Grace and Granger were super excited about going to see Khaki, Granddaddy, Nat Nat, and the Roll Tide bus (Granddaddy's motor home). Granger was a little under the weather with an upper respiratory infection and ear infection but the doctor said he would be fine traveling. He politely asked Granger where he was going and Granger quickly replied that he was going to the Alabama football game. The doctor told Granger he was a Gator doctor and he understood about going to football games. So, we traveled on Friday to Tuscaloosa.



Saturday we attended the Homecoming parade, shopped, tailgated, and really tried to decide if we should take the kids to the game. We worried about Granger because he didn't seem to act like himself. Bailey and I both offered to keep the kids at the motor home but knew we both really wanted to go to the game. After much discussion, Mom and Dad said we should try to take them and see how it went.
Zetta Grace was all about the football game. This was her first Alabama game and she must have it in her blood big time. She danced with her pom pon, shouted Roll Tide, and wanted to see all the action.

(Try not to notice all of her non-matching reds in this picture. She kind of reminded me of Grandmothers and the many shades of one color. At least she had the team's colors on.)

I had to hold her through 3 quarters while standing so she could see it all. If I tried to stand her on the bleacher to see, she didn't think that was good enough. She shouted a lot during the game screaming "Roll Tide", "Get em", and "Go, Go, Go". The kids lasted until mid-way through the 3rd quarter and then Bailey and I decided to head back to the motor home. Granger looked like he was about to fall asleep and we didn't want to carry his 47 lb self back to the motor home. We were impressed they had made it that long.

We had a great weekend and thankfully Granger seems more like himself today. As usual, Khaki and Granddaddy were their usual selves and spoiled the kids rotten.

The kids were fortunate enough to see Uncle Ricky and Aunt Kristina as well but somehow I don't have any pictures of that.
