We got into Oxford late Friday night and unpacked and ate dinner at the Honey Bee Bakery (delicious!). It's a small, quaint little restaurant on Jackson Avenue and it was recommended to us by our friend, Kinney. Thank you Kinney for the recommendation because it was DELICIOUS! I wasn't sure what to expect when we walked in but man were we impressed.
Saturday morning we got up and went for a walk around the square and to St. Peter's Church to see all the pumpkins. It's a tradition and a fundraiser for this church to put out pumpkins every year and I've always seen my friends take pictures of their kids at this place and I decided to do the same with Will. This is something I've looked forward to for years and I believe it will always be something we do with him every year. He really didn't know what to do with all the pumpkins. They had little pumpkins and big pumpkins. He decided to try and pick up the big pumpkins and also eat the stems of the pumpkins. Yes I took pictures to document the occasion.
After our walk, Will took a good nap since we had an 8:00pm kickoff time with the Rebels. We wanted him to be well rested. We eventually made our way to the Circle for tailgate time and had a blast. It had rained earlier that afternoon and we were doing everything in our power not to get Will nasty and dirty. So this momma was prepared with an extra change of clothes. He did good though and decided to walk around a lot more than normal and also play in his "Ole Miss" chair. Anything I could find to entertain him for a while was the key. He was entertained by my phone, the fritos bag, a dr. pepper bottle and also his Ole Miss cap. Hey, whatever works to keep this busy body busy for a while.
We made it to the game with Will in tow and had a great time. He was clapping and watching all the people through the game. He entertained himself again with his pom pom, my red beaded necklace and also his Ole Miss cap. We left at half time and walked back to the condo and got Will in bed and finished watching the game on TV.
The banks were closed Monday so therefore I didn't have to work so we spent our time relaxing in Oxford. We also had another delicious lunch at the South Depot Taco Shop on the square and it was very good. So thanks again, Kinney for the recommendation.
Now for the pictures
More pictures from the ball game will be done in another post because my phone is turning them sideways :(
