Roll Tide

For those of you who are not from Alabama, let me give you a quick peek into the Bama culture. In Alabama children are taught to say roll tide before they are taught their ABC's. This is not a joke, but sadly the truth. "Roll Tide" is an accepted salutation to which you respond "Roll Tide". And perhaps the sadest thing is that if your child attends FWC the painted picture of Jesus may have your child in tears due to fright, but your children will cry because they want to see Big Al the Alabama mascot.

Yes, from an early age children in AL are taught an appreciation for the Crimson Tide. And since the Moore children have a father who is a sports fanatic, they too have become subject to such an upbringing. Every home game we take the children to quad to tailgate befor the games. As you can see they have adapted well to this cultural phenom. We all have a great time!

Ok, so maybe not all the Moore's are crazy about Alabama football. The only thing Jack is crazy about these days is his matchbox cars. He only has two, but one of them is always in his hand. At nap and at night I have to take these cars from him, and of course he screams and pitches a fit. His teacher says that he even keeps a car in his hand at school.

We finished up our day on the quad with a crimson bath and a few cheers in the tub. Roll Tide!!!
