Ivan resumed the tradition of riding to Ttown with us on Friday night. We left after Jonathan returned from Atlanta and Tim returned from a trip back to the hospital. The caddie had championship flags on it and they made noise all the way to T town. Upon arriving at the RV storage, the flags had bent poles and the seams were gone. Bye Bye Flags. The RV pickup and setup went very smoothly. Well at least for us. The RV next to us began to lose water. Tim to the rescue. Tim worked on Larry and Wendy's RV while we got everything ready. By the way.. it was HOT in Ttown. While Tim was being the good Samaritan, Ivan, Jonathan and Tanya went to Publix. After the shopping trip, Nicolette met us at Publix. We took her car to Wings to since she can't park in our lot. Then we returned to the RV lot to collect Tim. Wings was not crowded but it was after 9 PM. Food was GREAT! Nicolette made a friend. They both speak German. Back at the RV, it was after midnight before we turned out the lights. Football weekends.. you got to love um. 
Saturday morning we completed the set up process. Tim and Ivan went for breakfast. Tanya and Jonathan prepared the RV and the outside. Jonathan picked up Nicolette. Tanya took the dogs for a walk. Amy, Steve, Isabelle, Leah and James arrived. Tanya went for a bike ride. Ivan made the sausage bread. Nan and Ellen arrive. Tim mad Timz Dogz. YUM! Jonathan picked up Alex, Catherine and Jenny. Janis, Randy and Brenna arrived. It was HOT in Tuscaloosa. People would sit outside and then move inside to cool off. Anne and her nephew Ryan joined the tailgate. It was SO HOT that the food sitting on the table was warmed to the point of tasting as if it had just come out of the over. The cheese dip was as warm as if it had been in the microwave. It was HOT in Tuscaloosa. The pizza rolls were oven fresh!
Around 3:30 the sky opened up and it poured. We were able to get the chairs folded and that is all. Everyone moved inside. Finally the rain stopped and it was game time. Or at least time to go to the game. It was a little cooler but gosh the humidity was BAD. Tim and Tanya rode bikes to the game. Bama wins 24-3. Allie is 44-8. Coach Joe Pa, Coach Bobby Bowden and Coach Saban, were all on the field before kickoff. What a game!
Anne's nephew, Ryan, had an allergic reaction and spent the whole ballgame at the hospital. DCH! After the game, everyone returned to the RV for dinner.
We stayed up once again until past midnight.
Sunday morning cleanup was a pain because of the rain. The awning was soaked and so were the rugs. YUCK. Jonathan went for breakfast and papers. No Bham news to be found. The RV is coming home to have the generator serviced.
