Ole Miss Homecoming

We spent a fun weekend in Oxford for Ole Miss Homecoming. Uncle Steve, Aunt Becky, Emily, Lauren and their friend Brooke came down to visit Ole Miss and us! We were all really excited to see them and to give them a little taste of what Ole Miss is all about. I wish I had pictures from the Homecoming parade and Proud Larry's with the Simms on Friday night, or even from the Square or Ajax or the Grove and game on Saturday, but things were just so hectic and I never had time. We had such fun though! These pictures are from our campus tour on Sunday morning. We promised the Sullivans a "true" tour with the professionals next time they come in town...they settled for our very rough sketch of the campus for now. Here we are in front of the Lyceum.
And here is the Sullivan clan (and Brooke) in front of the fountain and chapel.
Hadley and Quinn making wishes in the fountain.
Tyndale making a wish...do you see his penny in mid-flight next to Hadley's shoulder?
Here are Tyndale and Quinn in front of the KD house. I took the girls through the house for a tour and I think they really liked it. Such great memories for me!
I just loved the excitement on Quinn's face in this picture. If you have never eaten the Sunday Brunch at the Alumni House at Ole Miss...it is insane! They had everything from your regular breakfast fare...fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, biscuits...an omelet chef, a waffle chef, ribs, raw oysters, sushi, salmon...they have it ALL covered! Well, Quinn's pride and joy was this little Key Lime pie...you can tell how excited she is about it! They also had wall-size screens to watch (what else?) football. Brad really wanted to stay there all day!
We had a wonderful weekend with the Simms and Sullivans. So happy to see everyone and get some quality time in. We are even happier that Emily seemed to like Ole Miss and they said they will be back soon for a basketball game!
