After 2 years of living in Auburn, we decided it was high time we went to a football game. Michelle P and Lily graciously offered to babysit for us so we could go to Auburn vs Ole Miss. It was SO MUCH FUN. And, as an added bonus, we won!
We walked to the stadium from our house, about 2 miles. We discovered this secret path that takes you down by a creek!
Our seats were way up high but we still felt like we could see everything great! One of the coolest parts of this experience was right before kickoff when they let the bald eagle named Independence fly around the stadium. He flew around the stadium and then dove down and landed on the big AU in the middle of the field. Just watching it made me feel like I was on a rollercoaster!
The stadium was packed!
The band (behind us) was playing the other direction the whole time so we couldn't really hear, but they looked great. Also, it was SO COLD. We froze our buns off!
The at home crew cheered the Tigers on to victory

After the game we needed to make a quick pit stop, so we went over to the physics building. Mason needed to change the media his cells grow in, and I got to watch him do it. He looked so cool and science-y.
Then we moseyed on over to Toomer's Corner. Whenever Auburn wins, everybody runs over there and throws toilet paper in the trees to celebrate. We had to see it!
After that, we walked home. It was such a wonderful date, and well overdue. We are grateful for such amazing family who gave us the chance to do this!
