Hotty Toddy!

Ever since the youngest Cummings sister decided to spend four years studying (or tailgating?) at Ole Miss, the entire Cummings family has embraced the way that those folks do football games down in Oxford.  Accordingly, as many of us as possible load up and head to Mississippi every time Vanderbilt is scheduled to play football there.  We had another trip last weekend, and man, was it fun!  We spent Friday kicking around the Square in downtown Oxford with a little shopping, a little strolling, and a little munching:

Evelyn needed to make some calls from a vintage British red telephone booth on the Square.  She had conversations with G.G. and Grammie before deciding to hang up and move on.

On Saturday, it was on to the Grove!  The football game was scheduled to have a 6 PM kickoff, so we gathered our tailgating supplies and headed on down to the Grove in the middle of the Ole Miss campus in the early afternoon.  Honey arranged a beautiful table under our tent, and we all had fun visiting, listening to the band play, and people-watching:

Once it started getting dark, Little Miss and her daddy watched the Ole Miss dance team perform and then tried out the stage themselves:

Then it was back to our spot for a brief conversation with Uncle Eddie before we all packed up and headed to the game:

Evelyn stayed for the entire first half of the game, and seemed to mostly enjoy herself:

 There were some tense moments...

...but Vandy eventually prevailed (yay!).  More importantly, the marching band and the baton twirlers showed up at half-time.

The rest of our long weekend was spent lounging, wandering around the Square, eating delicious meals, and stalking sidewalk musicians:

One of the best parts of the weekend?  Hearing Ev's sweet little voice say, "Hotty toddy!" to every Ole Miss fan she met:)  Happy weekend, friends!
