Game Day in Alabama, Part 3: The Stadium is SO BIG!
Do you see them? Look lower left - Phillip, Jack, Buddy, and DeeDee strolling by the enormous structure that is Bryant-Denny. As we were walking by, Jack said, "Wow! It's so BIIIIIG!" Can we go up to the top?"
Why yes, Jack, we sure can.
Phillip's parents have four seats on the very top row. Oh yes. (That's too bad for a daughter-in-law who is terrified of heights.) It is quite the view up there, let me tell you - especially when there's a fly-over!
I had wondered how Jack would handle the extreme height. Sometimes I wonder why I bother to wonder those kinds of things because he, as usual, did great! He took a short break about halfway up the uppermost set of steps to give Phillip and I time to catch up with him. He was so excited to see all the commotion way down on the field.
Once we made it all the way up (out-of-breath, drenched in sweat and adjusting to the extreme altitude change, haha) Jack was so proud of himself and was obviously very excited to have made it all the way up. He settled right in and made himself quite comfortable until we packed it up and headed out just after halftime. (There was just so much more to see and do before the day was over, you know?)
Here are a few more of my favorite shots from inside the stadium. Enjoy!

Hey Sugar~
I love the photos!! I would be nervous on the very top also but at least there is some shade from the smoldering sun!!! Glad you guys had a good weekend--call me!
It's so fun to see life through the eyes of a child. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Now, I must tell you that although I'm a Tennessee fan by marriage, I can appreciate all SEC teams.
I got nervous just looking at those pictures. I hate heights. But Jack is so precious that I am sure you didn't mind climbing to the top for him!
He couldn't be any cuter! I'm SO glad he's wearing the right colors, too! We should get together over here and grub during a game before the season is over.
