West Point, Ollie Branch and Halloween

We all went to West Point last weekend to visit Anthony's parents. It was CeCe's first visit to West Point and I think she had as much fun as we did. We went to Starkville Saturday for the pre-game festivities but didn't have tickets to the game (Bryce was so dissapointed but we have promised that we will take him to the Ole Miss game in a few weeks)

Bryce loved everything about game day, especially the band!

Sunday afternoon the kids and I left Kiki and Papaw Duke's house and drove to Olive Branch (Bryce calls it Ollie Branch) to spend the week with my parents. It was CeCe's first trip to their house also. We had 3 rainy days, but made the best of the sunny days. Monday we hit the zoo....Memphis has a great zoo!

Friday CeCe wasn't feeling well at all. When she woke up she seemed normal but by 9am she was screaming and had fever. We gave her tylenol and she slept for about 3 hours. She woke up and ate and felt better. She still had fever but would smile occasionally so we knew she was OK. Her fever broke in the middle of the night and she has been fine ever since. I have no idea what she had, but I'm glad it was so short lived!
Saturday morning we packed up and headed back to Pensacola. We brought Cappy back with us which made the 7.5 hr. trip much easier on all of us. CeCe did awesome on the drive, only cried for about 2 minutes and we were only 20 mins from home when that happened. Bryce always does awesome in the car. And he only watched one DVD! He 'read' the big toy flyer from Toys R Us for HOURS in the car. It was so cute to look back there and he looked like he was reading the newspaper. We got home just in time to dump our stuff and get dressed up for Trick or Treating!
