UA vs Kent State

The Friday before Labor Day, we were gearing up for the kick off of college football season! Carter and Callen have "team spirit" Fridays during the fall, and Carter's class had a Tailgate party at lunch that Friday. According to Carter, it was "really fun" and he even got his face painted like a football player! One of his friend's mom sent me the picture below from the party because I couldn't make it.

After school, we took Callen over to Bamma and Big Pat's so that she could go down to the beach with them. I was a little worried that she wouldn't be too happy about it, but she hopped in the car and never looked back. It seems she was ready to head down to beach.

Bright and early the next morning, we headed to Tusc.aloosa to cheer on the Tide. Carter is always so excited to go!

Before the game

Watching intently

Although he always is so excited to be at the game, his attention span hasn't quite stretched to cover 4 quarters. I think he was finished with football around mid-first quarter. I managed to extend that to halftime with a frozen lemonade {it was HOT, after all}, and we abandoned ship after halftime.

We left Tuscaloosa ahead of the traffic and headed south to the beach {to be greeted by Tropical Storm L.ee}. Someone was truly exhausted by the time we really got underway!

We were excited that the Tide opened the season with a big W, and we look forward to more great games this season!
