We got to hang out with her grandparents and aunt Barb, with her cousins Will and Sam during the day. It was a fun afternoon of just hanging out, watching football and enjoying being together. For the actual draft, they rent out a room at a building in the town they live in and setup tables in a U shape with a big piece of paper on the front wall for each team. The winner from the last year gets a trophy and the loser gets to sit on the rolling toilet with all of the previous last place finishers' names on it! They go around the table selecting players, to fill up the 19 spaces on each team. For those of us not participating, we hung out in the back of the room, laughing and catching up. It also involved throwing the football around with her cousins, and taking lots of pictures.
After the draft itself, we moved over to the condos where we were staying for the after party. It was fun being outside, laughing and listening to lots of music. On Sunday morning we all gathered for breakfast at the golf club in her grandparents' neighborhood. After saying goodbye, we headed out of town to make it back to Atlanta in time for church that night. We had a lot of fun being with them in Tennessee as we hadn't been there in a while. We are looking forward to making it back up there in the Fall!

That is hilarious!! I love it. They sound so much fun and I get a kick out of them being so hard core about it. What a great family tradition. Thanks for sharing!
That is so funny! Even though I'm so not into football, that is a really fun traditon!
