The boys and I headed out last Sunday morning for Oxford, Mississippi . . . quite a drive with 3 football eager little boys let me tell you! Our first stop in Oxford was Rebel Rags to get suited up in Ole Miss gear! Then, to the original McAllisters - an Oxford MUST!
We stayed on campus at the Ole Miss Inn. It was great being right next to the Grove and easy access to the Union and Football facilities. Jayden stayed with us - he was a commuter this year instead of staying in the dorm. We rarely saw them though - his camp was from 8:30 am to 10:00 pm - this is the only time (the day before camp) that he got any pool action!
Bright and early the first day of camp for registration and a peek at the Rebel team doing a little practicing!
Kyler played a little pool in the players rec room and below is him in action as a "skin".
NEVER during my years at Ole Miss could I have imagined that one day I would spend 4 days on campus and spend 99% of that time in the Athletic facilities! We know the ins and outs of all the football facilites . . .from the rec rooms, IPF (Indoor Practice Facility), to the underground hallway to the Stadium. I have seen more sweaty, shirtless boys smack talkin' and high fiving, walked on more astroturf, heard more whistles blowing and football lingo then I ever thought possible! It's a boys world and I'm smack in the middle of it! Needless to say, I am in the need of some GIRL time really soon!
Kyler and Evan hanging the GROVE. Kyler told me this is where he wants to go to school :)!
2 of my Champions! (Jayden got his Champion pic last year)

Kyler and Evan and I spent our afternoons and nights watching the games on the field. Kyler's camp was over at noon -- and Jayden liked for us to be there to watch his games. It was pretty cool to watch!
Guess which Pitts Boy this is??? It's Kyler - but about the only way to tell is that Jayden doesn't drink sodas!
Our view each evening . . .stadium lights and jumbotron going.
Kyler ate breakfast each morning at the hotel before his camp . . . oatmeal and fruit.
What a great experience! Both boys gained so much - and not just football skills! I am so proud of both of them - they gave it their all and had a great time! This was Kyler's first Ole Miss football experience and I'm pretty sure he is ready to come back next year! His camp had a videographer and he made the camp video several times and was so proud! Jayden's love is football -- from warm ups to game time he was front and center and fully engaged! ARE YOU READY????? Heck yeh - the Pitts boys are! 3 Rebels in the making!
