A highlight of this Stateside Assignment will be our family trip to see the Ole Miss Rebels play football in person. We watch and cheer them on every week from home. It is especially something we look forward to this time of year when we are in Guatemala. College football season is our favorite! A fellow IMB missionary, who is a diehard Ole Miss fan and alumni, gifted us his four tickets to the game. What a blessing that was to us!

We arrived, parked, and took the bus shuttle to the stadium.
Hello Vaught- Hemingway Stadium!!
The first thing we did was walk through The Grove.
Cruz loves Ole Miss and was just giddy the whole day!

Hello, Lane!

Ole Miss cheerleaders
I took a video of the players walking in, but it was too large for Blogger. I added it to a YouTube video and posted it below. The boys loved getting to see and slap hands with many of the players.
We walked through the Student Union building.
We made another stroll through The Grove before heading into the stadium.
This tree was beautiful in person!
I love fall most of all!

I'm not sure he'll forget this day any time soon.

touchdown Rebels!
What a fun day!!!
Most of my videos were too large to share on Blogger, so I made this collage video on YouTube.
Ole Miss won 49-0. It was a great ending to a super special day!! But, the excitement doesn't end there. We'll get to see them play one more time before we return to Guatemala. The 2025 Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and rival Mississippi State is later this month. We'll be there in Starkville to cheer on the Rebels! We can't wait!!!
