Eli went to his first Gator game in the Swamp this weekend. We had him practicing the Gator chants and songs all week long.He was extremely excited when he woke up Saturday morning, and Daddy asked him where we were going. "Chomp Chomps!" he said.
Initially, he was completely overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds. Once the pregame hoopla was in full swing, he got a little scared by the (totally AWESOME) flyover and all the yelling and cheering as the Gators took the field. He quickly warmed up and lasted almost the entire game (thanks to spectacular seats!)...and all without a nap.
Can you tell how tired he was....
After the game, we made sure to get some cute pictures of him at some campus hot spots.
It was a perfect day...complete with lunch at Burrito Brothers and a quick stop in our old neighborhood to see some friends before hitting the road. We only wish we had more time to show Eli all around Gainesville. I'm sure we'll be back soon. Eli truly LOVED it!
(*And by the way....this Gator team is really amazing. If you can believe it, they're faster in real life!!! *)
