Rain rain go away! It’s been raining for days and the dreary, wet weather is a bummer. But, it’s not so bad when you have a cute purple raincoat!
Hoping for a dry Halloween tomorrow!

Weekend fun
We had a winning weekend! Samantha’s soccer team played in a tournament and won, Alabama beat SC, and Vanderbilt beat Missouri! All my teams walked away with a W! Woohoo! In between all the winning we also had fun with friends!
Cheers to a spooky week ahead!
Bama birthday!
Robert went all out and got awesome tickets for the Bama TN game on Spencer’s birthday. No better place to celebrate 13 than in T-town cheering on the Tide! Before they left we had a birthday lunch and opened presents…
The boys then headed to Tuscaloosa with some friends that had gotten a driver – which was super nice because it was a night game and a very late return!
They got there way before kickoff so had lots of time to pre-game. I’m really glad Maxwell was there to force this birthday picture!!
They also made it to the President’s mansion…
and generally lived it up on campus…
even getting a ride and police escort to the stadium…
Thankfully the actual game lived up to the pre-game!! Amazing seats, a pick six, and a big Bama win!
Spencer said it was his favorite live sporting event he’s ever been to! Now THAT is a good 13th birthday! Roll Tide!
The Sphere
On Sunday we got up, grabbed Starbucks and headed to the Sphere! This was really the reason for our trip. Samantha just finished reading The Wizard of Oz and I thought that was as good a reason as any to head to see the movie at the Sphere!
It was so cool to see inside the Sphere and we had great seats in section 307!
The movie had been updated with AI to fit the screen and the effects were pretty incredible – from feeling like we were in the tornado to the apples falling from the sky – it was all very neat!
We then walked through the Wynn and saw some sites…
and even had another Oz photo op!
We then headed to the airport to catch our flight home! A quick and great trip! Viva Las Vegas!!
