When we found out our dear friends, the Lamberth's, were moving to Auburn in August the first thing we did was book a stay at their home for a weekend. We(Big B) had our eye on the Texas A and M game as they were new to our conference and it was later in the season so we picked that date and anxiously waited for the end of October to be here! It also worked out that my brother's birthday was near and he lives 40 minutes from Auburn in Columbus so we thought we could see him and celebrate that too!
We originally planned to leave Thursday afternoon and drive while the kiddos slept but Big B had something come up for work down in Miami so we chose to leave early Friday morning. Glad we did as it turned out great and is looking like the way to do it when we have long drives ahead of us. We woke the kids up at 5:30am and landed in Auburn just in time to picnic on Samford lawn. We had a blast. Hampton was so happy to be out and about and see people. He had been in confinement since the beginning of October and just smiled and smiled at everyone that walked past. Little B was a little tired as he didn't nap at all in the car so he laid himself down on the sidewalk and declared "nap. time"
We picked up Amsterdam's turkey wraps- yumo
That afternoon after we all had naps at the Lamberth's awesome house we headed into campus for a tour of the football locker room.

The Lamberths! Our only photo of all of us from the weekend
Best. smile. ever.
Boys were fascinated by the Jumbo-tron.
And of course we had to get a picture in front of my all time favorite player- CAM
Then we headed to the Auburn Baseball field to watch a home run derby that Tim Hudson puts on every year for charity
Ma C and Ranger met us there! These two are hilarious together.
The next day we were up early ready to tailgate and see our cousins.
Yay! We hadn't seen these guys since Christmas!

Hampton teaching everyone an Auburn chant :)
This kid was happy all weekend.
Gotta get the traditional Auburn picture :)
Ma C watched Hampton while we took Little B to the game- Thank you!
H was all over the place!
Since the game was at 6:00 Little B got a good nap in at the Lamberth's before we headed back to campus. It was FREEZING so we only stayed the first quarter- but Little B loved seeing the eagle fly and watching the band march onto the field.
On the way back to the car we stopped by to see the new Coliseum and Auburn Museum
Pretty cool that Little B got to see 3 of Auburns sports venues in one weekend!
It was a great weekend and one we look forward to doing again- if the Lamberth's will have our crazy crew again :) Sad I didn't get to see a few people as I had to head back to get the boys naps and missed some people at the tailgate. I keep telling myself that this is a season and I am really thankful for a whole weekend in Auburn.
We loved having you visit and cannot wait for the next time!
