My Little Fan

Well, it's official. Blair is an Auburn gal just like her Mommy. Felix and I got up the guts to take the little fan to her first Auburn game this past Saturday. We went in with low expectations, but I somehow knew she would love it. My dad took me to every single Iron Bowl for as long as I can remember (I wore my Orange of course), and I know that is how I became the fan I am today.

The Joiners were nice enough to invite us to their family tailgate. The kids were full of sugar and pumped about heading to the football game!

But first, we had to start our gameday experience with a trip to the Tiger Walk. Felix put Blair on his shoulders and off we we went to check out the "cheerweeders." Now let me warn you, I'm about to get really emotional for a second. We waited and waited for the band to strike up, and at last when they did, it was like a dream come true for me. I glanced up at my precious angel sitting on her daddy's shoulders and without any hesitation at all, she was singing every single word to the fight song and giving it her best with her Auburn shaker. It was like she was born to do this. She knew exactly what to do and when to do it. My heart so was full. And finally as the crowd started to clear, she looked down at me and said "That was awesome!" I have to agree. It was.

Next, it was time to head into the stadium. We wanted to get there in plenty of time so we didn't miss any of the pregame festivities. We got to our seats just in time for the eagle to take flight. Blair kept asking where that silly bird went.

As usual, the pregame did not disappoint. The band was right on, and the sunset was orange and blue; just as it always is.

We watched a little bit of the game, and then headed to the car. As we were leaving the stadium, Blair looked at Felix and said "I had a great time today." Once again, I was mush. We were so glad that we got to share this tradition and special part of our lives with Blair. We look forward to starting our own memories and traditions with our little family and sharing them with the people who believe Auburn is as special as we do! War Eagle!
