A visit to Auburn and Monkey Park!

The first weekend of March we went to Auburn for a visit. Friday night, we ate at Cock of the Walk with dad. It was super good! SO much food! Then, Saturday morning we had a big breakfast as always with Dad and we headed out to Becca's soccer game. She is a 17 yr. old neighbor who plays on a select soccer team in Chattanooga. Her team played in a tournament in Auburn for a college showcase. One game an Auburn scout was at her game! She'll be a senior next year, so we have high hopes!!
After the game, we took the Whiteside's to another classic Auburn restaurant, the Barbeque House! After that, we took them on a driving tour of campus and pictures in front of Samford Hall! Then, Ben went to play golf with Rick, our new brother in law, while dad and I took Blayne to the Monkey Park in Opelika! He loved sliding, swinging, and watching all the other kiddos! I grew up going to that park, so it was fun to take him there!! Many mores outings there in the future I am sure!
The rest of the weekend flew by. Cookout Saturday night, visited with more friends, and then attended 10th St. for worship. It was fun for everyone there to see Blayne and to get so many hugs from people who've known me my whole life! Then, we hit the road to get back home before small group at church.
Great weekend "home"!
More posts to come! This month is loaded with fun happenings!!!
