It was fun on campus at the University of Kentucky! Jon accompanied us as we strolled to Rupp arena and posed for multiple pictures with horse statues and roses! We had a beautiful fall day to eat chicken tenders at our tailgate site very close to the stadium. Cheering on the Gators was rewarded with a victory and aferwards we headed home with a lot of good Bluegrass memories!
Welcome into the Hollington Huddle! Here we will review game plans of the week and highlights from the big plays! Thanks for supporting our team! IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE PICTURES, CLICK ON VIEW ALL IMAGES!

Cincinnatti Science Museum
After leaving Churchill Downs we headed over to scope out Cinncinnatti to look into doing something cool with our next day. Learning that rain was in the forecast we decided to do the Cinncinnatti Science Museum over the zoo but we still got out of the car and played in the zoo gardens! The Science Museum was small- I think thats why I liked it so much! They had a lot of kid friendly zones and an awesome play area that Elsie and Wil both enjoyed! It was an early bedtime for us at the hotel as we rested up for the UF/UK football game the next day!

Mammoth Cave Kentucky
On our way up to the Gator/UK game we visited Mammoth Cave-the largest cave system in the world. While riding the bus to the cave entrace we saw wild turkey and deer. Ranger Barb was very informative and she taught Elsie and Wil all about the deep dark cave! Decending the cold metal staircase was thrilling and the Frozen Niagra was a beautiful ending to the tour! On the way to the hotel we saw a giant T-Rex from the road and a "Dinosaur World" that looked strangly familiar. Jason stopped in to check it out while the kids romped with the carnivores and herbivores. This Dinosaur World is the owned by the same owner as the Dinosaur World in Plant City. (Deep sigh of relief from Mom!)
"Wanna see MY football game!"
The annual meeting of UF vs UT in football always marks the anniversary of Jason and I meeting! So we made a fun day of it. Jason bought me a pewter Gator head decal and Gator tray. We parked at Michelle's house, walked up to the game (chomping all the way!) and enjoyed a win over the first SEC competitor of the year! I think the kids are starting to enjoy it. They used to crawl over everything and squirm around. Now they stand up in the bleachers and look for Albert and Alberta! Elsie even had me pick her up so she could see better. She said "wanna see my football game!"
Perry for September 11th
The weekend of September 11th found us at the Georgia/USC game while the kids stayed with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Mona. Grandpa Hoyt had a UTI that weekend so Mom really had her hands full with working, nursing Grandpa healthy again and chasing kids! Good thing we have Grandpa Dan and Bobaloo! Between go cart rides, Bobaloo rides, John Deere and Ford visits at Uncle Davids there was enough to keep 'em busy! We dressed them in red white and blue for September 11th and were happy to memorialize the day but still have a cheerful distraction from the sadness of the memories that came with it. Mom and Dad have an awesome pad and we just loved admiring all the accomplishments to this date!
Freeport/Vicksburg Mississippi
Uncle Jake volunteered to help Grandma Terry and Pepa in watching Wil and Elsie so we could make a quick trip to the LSU/Oregon game out in Arlington Texas. Wil and Elsie had a good time bonding with the family and making sure everyone got their exercise! This is definately the furthest Jason and I have driven west together and we did have a few cool stops. We both got a few pairs of shoes in Mississippi, crawfish pie in Louisianna, learned a few things by listening to the radio and stopped early Sunday morning in Vicksburg Mississippi to admire the mighty Mississippi river!
The Homefront
Now that football season is here I am really appreciating our limited times we are home sweet home! Here is a little from the latest...An afternoon trip to the park (minus our double stroller), cuddle times, potty times, play times and Elsie wanting to dress up like a runner!
