Game Day

 Spencer was born with blue running through his veins, Cougar blue that is. A passion for sports, especially BYU football has been handed down from father to son in Spencer's family. It's a passion I don't quite understand, and probably never will.  And Spencer's family planned their visit to Alabama to coincide with the BYU vs Ole Miss football game. So that was our Saturday activity. Everyone had their game day shirt, including me.

SideNote: I have never in our 8 years of marriage donned any BYU attire. I made a point of it for Steve and Spencer to mark in the calendar!
We were able to find a babysitter at the last minute for Tate. It would have been such a long day for him and miserable for me. So thank you Mindy! Because Tate wasn't going we were able to pile everyone in our van. Which made for cramped traveling, but comical pictures

Notice Ellie's seat. It stands out completely from the rest of the interior of the car. And there's a reason: we had to make a seat for her. SSSSHHHH! Her seat is actually a 2nd seat for our double stroller. The guys just rigged her a seat between their captain's chairs and she fit quite snugly. Also notice she is strapped in, but her seat wasn't actually attached to anything. So if she stood up, she took the whole orange seat with her! Not very safe. Not one of my proudest parent moments!
It was a 3 1/2 hour drive to Oxford, MS and all 3 kids did great. The boys kept entertained with Nana's IPad and Ellie watched movies. Once we were there and parked we ate our lunch/dinner before we headed to the stadium.

I'll post the pictures from the stadium in a separate post
