This weekend, we had all these plans for our tailgating adventure. I got up early Friday morning and made two batches of brownies to take Saturday. Dave and I had talked about making our own chicken mini's and taking those for breakfast since the game was so early. So, Dave put in his order Friday to pick up his party platter Saturday morning at eight. With our plans in order, all we had to do was SHOW UP. Little did we know the RAIN would show up Friday night and settle in - essentially raining out our tailgate.
Dave's boss had saved us some seats in the student section so that we didn't have to get there two hours early! We ended up sitting eight rows up and in a really great location to see some good touchdown plays!
With four trays of chicken mini's, two batches of brownies, a new wagon to pull all of our crap, a satellite, chairs and a folding table, we were ready. Ther others were NOT. We ate a hand full of chicken mini's before the game and left out in our rain gear ready to get wet. Let me tell you how HOTTT it is when it decides not to rain and you're standing in a stadium with direct sun beating down on you! I was happy the rain decided to hold off for a while, though I was not as happy with the outfit of choice I had decided on wearing. Dave, too, was NOT dressed for warm-dry weather. Unlike me though, he had options! He had worn a pair of shorts under his waterproof pants and quickly resorted to that option once we got inside!
We were proud to walk away singing RAMMER JAMMER yet again this week but still bummed about our tailgate. The rest of the crowd came up with Plan B and we moved our little shin-dig to Matt's house. Taking our brownies, chicken mini's and wonderful partners in crime (Luke and JV) we headed out to watch the Auburn game.
All in all we had another successful weekend :) We are still anxious, though, about getting to hang out on the quad with all of our gadgets and gizmo's just living the life of Alabama Football! So... We WILL try again next weekend.
Bring a chair and come see us. I hear there will be some christmas lights (and I know I am SUPER PUMPED)!
