Chad the opportunity to buy us tickets to attend the UK versus FSU Music City Bowl football game in Nashville, Tennesse on New Years Eve this year so we decided that it would be fun to take the boys since we may not get the chance to ever do this again. He made the purchase and the deal was made!!!! After all our Christmas celebrations were over we packed up Monday morning and heading South toward home (but not quite yet...) and arrived in Nashvile around 12:30pm. We left Sis with Jennifer, Tim and the children (have I mention how appreciative that we are????) and Chad's mom and dad would pick her up later in the week and be meeting up in Gatlinburg.
We pulled into the parking lot of LP Stadium and knew that we arrived at the right place when we were overwhelmed at the SWARM or UK blue that we saw. It was an amazing site. Now mind you, there were FSU fans, but they were definately out numbered by the amount of UK fans probably 10:1, and that is being counted probably on the very low end. We walked around for a while just to take in the site and then decided to locate the Cat Walk so that they boys could experience seeing the players arrive. They were able to see them all arrive and got to even "high five" most of the players. We then decided to head on into the stadium to our seats and get something to eat but as we did, we found a station when they were doing face painting and each of the boys wanted to get it done. Bryson decided to opt for a "UK" on his cheek but AUSTIN, knowing that his mother is afraid of the BLUE MAN GROUP, gets his entire face painted half blue/half white and too closely resembles a member of that group and I have to all too often remind myself that he is my son and NOT a member of the band. Whew...I think my heart started racing just typing that bit! Anyhow, we found our seats and for the next hour and a half just enjoyed all the sites and sounds around us until..................GAME TIME!!!!
And then we enjoyed watching UK play 60 minutes of football and end up with a 35-28 bowl championship win over Florida State. It was Awesome!!!!!!!
C-A-T-S; CATS, CATS, CAT!!!!!!
Love to you all and til next time!
