Auburn A DAY and Jason's 35th Birthday

April 20th was Auburn's annual spring game and the last rolling of the Toomer's Oak Trees. Of course being the die hard fans we are we could not miss this momentous occasion. I wanted Patton to be there as well (b/c I'm sure he'll remember it-ha).  It was also Jason's birthday. I'm sure he may have wanted or could have wished for a more relaxing day, but he was a trooper all day. My Dad kept telling me they were expecting 100,000 people, but I didn't really believe him. Well, he was right!! I've never seen so many people in Auburn in my life. I really think more people were there than an AU/AL game.  Traffic was terrible, parking even worse, had to sit in upper deck- which I hate, but it was all worth it in the end watching Patton play in front of Samford Hall and seeing his face as all the Auburn fans rolled the trees. He was the best baby the entire day.  So sad to see the trees gone, but glad we got to see them before they were removed.  ***If you haven't read the children's book The Spirit Tree (about Toomers) you must do so.
