Words we never thought we would hear in China

One of the coolest things (besides going to China to get our son) has got to be standing in to lobby of a hotel in another country on the other side of the world and hearing the words shout out "War Eagle!"

Wow! Never thought we would those words over here?

We met a super nice couple adopting a beautiful little girl.  They have a farm in North Carolina, they weren't necessarily Auburn fans but they do root for all the agriculture schools.  They are really excited that the Carolina Panthers have Cam Newton as their quarterback now.


So we really can't wait to take him to his first Auburn game where he can experience one of the coolest things in all of college football.  Eagles are beautiful and amazing creatures anyway so when Auburn's war eagle flies above the stands; it just does something to ya!








   Another fun thing is rolling Toomer's Corner!!!

Way back in the day before a lot of people owned televisions and radios, they would throw telegraph paper in the trees as a sign of victory on Auburn's away games.   Later on in the 70's  it became the tradition to roll the trees at Toomer's corner with toilet paper. It is a fun tradition I might add!!  Where else can you go with hundreds of people, young and old alike and just let go and get crazy with some TP.





We are also Tennessee fans and luckily Auburn and Tennessee don't play each other very often.  We can't wait to introduce him to the "Good Ole' Rocky Top" 
Knoxville and  the Gatlinburg area is where Kevin grew up and it is such a beautiful part of the country, so we can't wait show him around.
