Rainy Saturday

Since it has been so rainy and dreary here lately, we decided to pack up Knox 2 Saturdays ago and take him to Tuscaloosa for a day trip and a basketball game. Teal offered to keep Greer for the entire day, so I took her up on it and it was so so so awesome to get some one on one time with Knox. Awesome.  I love that we got to do something that he LOVES-watching basketball. It was definitely a long trip in the car for 1 day, but it was well worth it. He is a great traveler. Greer...not so much. So, it was the best thing that she didn't accompany us (sorry, sweet girl). She got to stay behind and play with all of Teal's sweet kids and get loved on, so that was nice to know that she was in good hands.

We had a great time, and the Tide was able to pull off a W! Besides the game,  Knox enjoyed all the food, snacks, people, and cheerleaders and dancers. He couldn't take his eyes off of them. I couldn't either, so I don't blame him. They are always so cute and packaged so teeny and tight, and not to mention they dance and cheer a lot, so it's always very entertaining to watch. And then there's Big Al. Woosh. We talk about him and read about him almost daily, and Knox LOVES LOVES it...until we get face to face with him. Not so good. It's like a Santa experience all over again. When Big Al walked over to us I thought Knox's heart was going to stop, and he was visibly shaking. Poor guy. Hopefully he will change his mind soon!

He requested a hot dog and okra. He could eat his weight in okra.

Look closely...you can see my husband and son getting a good view of the dance team!

 See what I mean? Teeny and tight. So cute and smiley. I almost fed her some hot dog and okra :).

 Roll Tide!

 Ice cream and basketball?? Could it get any better?

 Cheering on his team:

We hit up a few places after the game, but it was nasty nasty outside. We had a great time, and I am so thankful for a spontaneous husband who likes to do fun things last minute. Speaking of fun things, once Knox fell asleep on the way home, I MIGHT have played with Lee's camera thingy for a long time on the way back...and we were dying laughing. It was so cheesy, but we kept on laughing. It never got old!

If that's not funny, I don't know what is. Sad part? My forehead really is that size...
