Alabama's Homecoming

Thursday night we went down to Tuscaloosa for a long weekend.  Bryant played in a golf tournament that was a fundraiser for Alabama's golf team.  Scott, our brother-in-law, is the assistant coach and put a lot of work into planning the tournament.  Bryant hated to a take a day off work to play golf, but it's important to support family :)  We took Miller out to the course Friday afternoon when they were announcing the winners and he had a blast.  I hate we didn't get any pictures.  He had lots of wide open space to run and loved rolling a ball into all of the holes on the practice green.  The miniature flags in each hole were a hit, too.

After Miller's nap on Saturday, we went on campus for a little tailgating.
Miller insisted on walking the whole way from the car to the tailgate.  He was mesmerized by all of the action.
One of Miller's favorite tailgating activities was kicking a pile of dirt.  Isn't that what everyone does when tailgating?
 Poppy stopped by to visit and play, too.
He brought Miller a little football which he loved.  He, Miller and Scott had fun running a few plays.
 We also got to see sweet Malley girl a lot this trip.

 Sweet cousins
Next time we'll plan a little better so we can tailgate a little longer.  It was a little rushed to get there, hangout a few minutes, and then head back to exchange Miller since he wasn't going to the game.  I should have put Miller down for his nap sooner and we should have been ready to walk out the door as soon as he got up.  Lesson learned.  

Appropriately, Miller learned to say "Roll Tide" this weekend.  It's pretty cute, although I can think of another phrase which would be even better ;)

  1. Too Cute! MM has great form kicking that dirt! Sign him up! I'm feeling kinda bad for not letting Poppy give Malley an "A" sticker. For some reason, in the tailgating craziness, I thought they were those actual fake tatoos. Wasn't excited about getting that off. Tell Poppy MG would love to have a sticker in the future! :-)
