Next, it was on to the tailgates. We did not set up a tailgate, but roamed around and got to visit with tons of sweet friends. First stop, the Columbus tent.
Ella Kate played a little bean bag toss....more like stole the bean bag mid game from some boys and took off with it. =)
We got some good hugs from precious Pam Sykes. EK kept saying, "It's too bright. I can't see." Hence the closed eyes in pictures. Oh well.
We also got to visit with Mary Dade...
and Celia Ford. We love getting to see our special friends from Columbus!!!!
Next stop, The Bulldog Buddies Tent:
We always love getting to see the Gordon Fam!!
I think that Ella Kate thought that Murphy was her little doll to play with. She wanted to hug him the whole time we were there. He was a good sport.
There were hugs to share with Mary Reeves too. I can't wait to show these pictures one day when they are in college together!!!!
It's hard work to get little ones to cooperate for my little photo sessions with so much going on around them! They are pretty sweet girls though!!!!
On to the Grenada Dawgs:
We stopped by sweet Sally's tent to get some Vera Kate love and also got to see a few DG friends. Tollie and Wendy were there visiting too! One of my favorite parts of football season is getting to see so many precious friends that I don't get to see often! It is great!!!!
Finally, it was GAME TIME!!!! We were all dressed in our black for the black out and headed to the stadium. Ella Kate was very excited....

But crashed as soon as we sat down! I have no idea how she fell asleep with the music booming but nevertheless, she napped like a champ.
