Game Weekend

Friday afternoon Tripp, Caroline, and I drove to Oxford. We spent Friday night with our family who lives there. We went to dinner at Newk's and had a great time catching up. Caroline has grown very fond of Kevin and Jill and their kids so she had a great time!

Caroline slept the entire 3-hour drive to Oxford so I knew she would be up late! Jill, Tripp, and I decided to take Caroline for a stroll around the Square. After going around the Square, Jill took us to a park close by so Caroline could play for a minute (we were trying to wear her out!).

Caroline finally tired out around 11pm! Saturday was game day! We enjoyed a nice relaxing morning at the Gardner's house before the 11:30 game. Winnie and Granddaddy drove up Saturday morning and met us at the house.

Sarah Gaines and her friend Molly kept Caroline for us while we went to the game. And Caroline had so much fun with them! They took Caroline to eat lunch at Abner's and then strolled up to the Square to get some yogurt at YaYa's.

The game was so HOT! Since it was at 11:30, we were in the sun the entire time. The game, of course, was one big disappointment, but it did not ruin our weekend. After the game, we went back to the Gardner's and cooled off and visited with friends and family. Winnie and I decided to take Caroline back to the park. Caroline enjoyed swinging and going down the slides!



We had another wonderful weekend in Oxford with family. I love taking Caroline to Oxford on game weekends. We have started a family tradition that will last for a long time! Before we know it, Tripp and I will be going to Ole Miss on game weekends to visit Caroline!!! Thank you, Kevin and Jill, for opening up your home to us and letting us stay with you (and thank you, Sarah Gaines, for giving up your room!).
