Her trip went great....well, except for the sleeping part! They drove over to Tuscaloosa on Friday afternoon and spent the evening sitting on the elephant at the pool, shopping, and eating guacamole (this kid loves guacamole!).
Again, all was just great. At bedtime, Allie took a bath and jumped right up into the bed and waited for Granny to join her. Then, it was Granny's time to wait....time to wait for Allie to fall asleep....which she did at 5am!!!
Poor thing was just too excited. She kept talking about going to the parade, seeing the football game, and hearing the music from a party down the hall. So finally, at 5am, she goes to sleep. Granny let her sleep as long as possible the next morning until it was time to get up and make their way to the quad for the day's events.
Fortunately, she woke up exclaiming "it's a beautiful day!" and was excited to get her BAMA gear on and get going. She was dressed perfectly for a day at the quad, and she had a great time!
She was busy running, playing, and turning flips all day, until finally, she had just had as more fun than she could handle and she crashed on her Granny for an hour.
After a nap on the quad, she was up and at it again, playing and playing until it was time to go back to Chris' and get ready for bed. Unfortunately, the game was scheduled at 8pm and it was just too late for Allie to get to go to the actual game, but she had a GREAT time at homecoming!
Her Pops would be SO PROUD that her first "football game" was a BAMA game....
