Barnes Tailgating Crew: October 26-28, 2012 Bama - v

October 26-28, 2012 Bama - v - Mississippi State

Tim, Tanya, Dottee, Spencer, and Mollee

We were able to leave Friday at 2 PM. YEA! We made it to the RV spot around 4 PM. Tim wanted to wash the RV and change the oil in the generator.

I went to WD for ice and a big cookie.

Tim was washing the RV when I got back to the RV storage lot. I walked to the dumpster to throw away a bag of garbage. I met a little girl who lived at the campground. Mercy! She asked me did I live there and I explained that we left our RV there . She was riding her bicycle.

I saw Ms. Kimbrough and talked with her for a few minutes. When I walked back to the car, Tim said the battery was dead! I left the radio on. I walked back to see if Ms. Kimbrough and husband could jump us off but a man sitting outside a camper stopped me and offered to help us. He brought his truck over and jumped off the caddie. We offered to pay him but he refused. Said he a Christian and it was his duty.

Time to proceed to the RV Lot. I was the first person in the lot! Tim pulled in and we got the RV set up. It is suppose to rain so we didn't set up anything outside. We met Ivan, Steve, Amy, Isabella and Zeke at Newks. The Hulsey's were there too. Great Friday night.

Saturday AM: Tim went to Home Depot for a firepit. I set up the RV inside and outside then took the dogs for a walk to the Quad and to see the lawn decorations on sorority row. When I returned Tim was back and had a fire going in the new fire pit. It is cool and windy.

Ivan, Steve, Amy, Isabella, and Zeke arrived. James, Leah, Nan, and Ellen arrived. Nicolette and 4 friends arrived. We watched football.

I began making Timz Dogz. People left for the parade. Anne, Ryan, Taylor and friends arrived. Taylor had two friends and Ryan had two friends. Randy brought us a present. It is a houndstooth elephant for the yard and it says, The Barnes' It is adorable. Kim S painted our name on it. A thoughtful gift from the Burns and Smith's.

We grilled grilled and snacked all day while watching football. Finally it was time for the game.

BAMA wins! YEA!!! Allie is 57-10. Whooohooo. We all returned to the RV after the game.

I took the Duncan's and Ray's to Nephies, aka, Hotel Patel after the traffic died down. Everyone helped clean up and put away all the tailgating stuff before leaving. That was a great help especially since we have to leave early on Sunday AM because Tim is on call on Sunday.

Sunday AM : we completed clean up and packing up. We took the RV to fill with fuel and then to the storage. Tim remembered we need to pick up my bike. We dumped the RV, emptied the water heater and then stored the RV.

Then to pick up the bike. By this time it is 11 pm, so much for leaving early so we called the Shrimp Basket and pick up a lunch to go.
