Blindfold Trip during the Boys Heroes Week

The 4 oldest grandsons came for 4 days and there was so much activity going on and so much fun that I don't know if I can make a dent in capturing all of it so here is the culmination of our week = the blindfold trip!
I started a tradition with them of blindfolding them to something special and this year I arranged for my friend, Martha's son, Gavin, who is a policeman on campus to show the boys some inside places....
on top of Haley Center is The Eagles Nest!
You can see all over the campus from here and there is a pretty good view of the football stadium.

Corey and Pops with Samford Hall in the background
Chad inside the Football Stadium
Brendan inside the police car
each boy got to sit in the driver's seat and touch the gadgets and there is a ton of them in there too!
the three older ones wanted to be handcuffed and arrested :) They all enjoyed seeing the taser gun demonstrated too!
The new basketball stadium is so sweet. The guys thought they were big stuff seeing it and pretending to play on it. Where you see the yellow paper on the seats is those already reserved by the fans. Can't wait til the new season gets started!
...not being an Auburn fan nor much of a tourer, Brendan was ready to go at this point but Corey was pumped up in this new weight room for the basketball players. The equipment had not even been unveiled.

Corey and Harrison investigating the player's locker room-each cubby has a specific holder for their cell phones keys etc..most impressive
Corey said it was the best blindfold surprise yet! He is without a doubt the biggest AU fan of the family and it was fun to get a thumbs up from him on top of the Eagles Nest. He and Harrison were almost inseparable this week. I sure hope their cousin relationship continues on into their old age. Wish I could be a fly on the wall to hear their recollection of this past week. For now I will just savor the moments I had with them.
The End of a very busy week with the boys!
