Since having a child we just do not get to go to as many basketball games as we used to. Week night games are almost impossible and weekend games can be challenging as well. We were able to pick a weekend to head down to T-Town to check out the Tide on the hardwood. Tip-off was at 3 pm so we decided to go do some touristy things since we don't get to do those things on football game days. We stopped first to get some pictures at the President's Mansion. It is always so beautiful, especially on a sunny Saturday.
We left there and ventured over to the quad. HC has been there before but there is always thousands of people and chaos. We got to explore and really see the beauty of the campus. Somebody loved it, but not as much as she loves her Daddy!
We roamed over to the Supe Store to do a little browsing. It is really amazing how much campus has changed since we were there. This May is 10 years for me and this past December marked the 10 year mark for Shane. Wow, how time flies. Since we forgot the stroller we had to get creative on our walk when little feet got tired.
This was our last picture of smiles. Right after it was taken HC took a little spill. Needless to say we headed straight back to the car since most college kids enjoying the quietness of the quad were giving us looks over the screaming child.
We finally arrived at the game to meet up with our friend Kim. Her husband is a coach and had gotten us tickets. She kept apologizing because we were not going to be able to sit with her because of some ticket confusion. We were sad to not sit with her but thankful for tickets. It actually worked out great. At first we had tons of room for HC to roam since no one was sitting next to us. Once the game started some people came down and sat in the seats. So much for roaming room.
Just a minute or so after the people sat down we noticed the Sabans had arrived and were headed up our stairs. The lady in front of us turned around and informed the people they would need to move since they were in the Saban's seats. What!?! Sure enough, they sat down right beside us. Mrs. Terry was super sweet to Hannah Claire. I wish I could say the same about HC. She was preoccupied eating her Crasins and could respond. We did get a phone picture but I have yet to figure out how to load them on here so you will just have to take my word for it.
After climbing over the Saban's twice to go potty and then return they left at halftime. Kim called to tell us there were empty seats beside her so we moved over to her section. When we went around we ran into Big Al. Now we thought after all of the success with characters at Disney HC would be cool with Big Al. That would be wrong with a capital W! We may have traumatized her. Bama won the game and we had a great day visiting our old stomping ground.
