Halloween At the zoo

We decided not to carry Garrett Trick or treating through our neighborhood because he is so shy and we would be doing all of the work for him, we decided to carry him to the zoo for games and candy.  He had a blast!

Ready to have some fun!

Pumpkin Patch

On Monday, Bo got the day off, and we made use of the beautiful weather at the pumpkin patch.

Ole Miss Football

This year we carried Garrett to the Ole Miss/Auburn game.  He loved it---the popcorn, nachos, Sprite, peanuts, and the band---much more so than the actual game.

 Too tired to walk anymore :)

Moments like this are few and far between...

New Orleans

We went to New Orleans this past weekend to watch the Rebels play football.  We stayed at Le Pavillon, a few blocks from the Superdome, a few blocks from Bourbon, and few blocks from the river.  My first impression was that I didn't think I was going to like staying there--It is an older hotel where the rooms are updated, but decorated in an older era.  By the end of our stay, I really enjoyed the hotel and how different it is to all the newer, modern rooms we are used to--even with the stories of ghost on our floor!  I think I can say this has been Garrett's favorite hotel so far--and he has stayed at his fair share.  Every night at 10:30 in the lobby, they server peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk, hot chocolate and marshmallows, and coffee.  Both nights we were there he and Kaki made their way to the lobby to have a snack.

One happy boy!

Go Rebels!

I have no idea where this picture was taken, but I do love the background.  I am sure that we were people watching wherever it is!

Daddy's birthday and the zoo

We have loved going to the zoo this summer.  It has been so hot, that we only go for an hour or so each time--thus so many posts about the zoo.  Seems that's our favorite thing to do.
