Heeeere Come the Gators!

Blayne has officially been introduced to the world of the Gators. The Orange and Blue game, the annual spring scrimmage, was a few weeks ago and I decided to take Blayne. He'd been asking to go to a Gator game forever, I found free tix, we had to get out of the house anyways (cause Sean would be sleeping all day) and I thought it was high time he got to go see the most awesome team in the world play football. And we had such a fun day!! We got up early and got moving (and despite the awesome traffic on the FL Turnpike) made it to Gville and headed to the stadium. I probably should have prepared Blayne for how big it was going to be. I think he was a little overwhelmed. There were over 50,000 people there though so it's understandable. Here's his first look...
This is what he was staring at
I wish I could've been in his head to hear what he was thinking about all this. I think he thought he might actually get to get on the field and play some football! He ended up loving it though, he did the Gator chomp and sang the songs and ate hot dogs and drank Gatorade (of course!). The only disappointment was that Al the Alligator did not come say hi to him.

After the game we went to the Butterfly Rainforest for a bit then walked around the campus by the Bat House and Lake Alice. We even got to see an alligator. It was a perfect day!
I love hanging out with him!And this is approximately 5 min after we got in the car to head home. =)
