Her first trip to see the "Toilet Paper"!

Every Sunday morning during football season, Mark and Turner ride through Toomer's Corner to see if there is toilet paper hanging in the trees.  About a year ago we started talking with her about this popular Auburn Tradition, explaining why there was Charmin draped all over downtown Auburn on some Sunday mornings, that it only happens when Auburn wins, etc.

She became quite intrigued with this unique event.  For instance, it may be a Wednesday in July, but if we drive anywhere near downtown Auburn she starts into a monologue something like this, "Mommy, is that Samford Hall?  And, Mommy, do you know what might be up there at Toomer's Corner?  Do you know??  I think it's...TOILET PAPER!!" 

Thankfully, we've see a lot of toilet paper in that tree this year, but Turner has never been present to watch the rolling in real time.  She's seen the end result, but I imagine it's been a little like Christmas morning - you don't know how the presents get under the tree, you just know they are there and it excites you!

Yesterday, we had a church friend come and keep Turner so that Mark and I could go to the AU vs. LSU game and really enjoy the game - not having to worry about needing to get Turner home, or whether she's kicking the people in front of us in the back, or when she sits with my parents worrying that she's keeping them from watching the game, etc.  Turner couldn't quite understand why she couldn't go with us to the game, so I made a deal with her that if Auburn won, I'd take her to see the toilet paper and we'd get out and go play in it and let her actually do a little toilet papering herself.
