Greatest Field Trip EVER!

The girls got to take an amazing field trip today with their school, and baby Allyn and I (along with lots of other mommas and daddies) chose to tag along. Here was the course of events: Aubie welcomed them to the Auburn Athletic complex, complete with a photo opportunity with him. Next was a viewing of the National Championship Trophy, a tour of the athletic equipment room, and multiple "player sightings." Coach Luper and Coach Boulware came out to speak to the kids. We then walked to the baseball field where we got to see the field AND get a personal tour of the locker room. There were even a few players in there getting prepped for tonight's game. Next, we were off to the football stadium. We got to go in through the player's entrance and straight into the Football Locker Room....way cool! The best surprise (to me) of the morning was getting to run out of the tunnel and onto the field. The kids ran up and down in complete awe of how big it all was! We then got to stop by the new Auburn Arena and check out some of the sports memorabilia in the museum and go inside the ticket office. I took way too many pictures to post here, but I tried to pick out some of the highlights. I think the parents may have even enjoyed the morning more than the kids! (There were at least 5 daddies that chose to chaperone this trip:) We are all about to kick up our heels for an afternoon rest!!!
