The Florida Gators and The Swamp

We love college football.  Although we are not Gator fans, we had to go experience Florida Gator college football.  Ever since we moved to Florida, Jake has thought he likes the Gators.  Him and Sydney were so excited to go to the game.  

Jake wore this helmet the entire care drive (2 1/2 hours) holding his football.   Sydney read this book on the way.  Her friend Maggie who likes the Gators let her borrow it.  It made the game fun because Sydney had read about all the stadium traditions before we got there.   


Tailgating and playing football before the game.  College football in the South is a totally different world than out West we grew up. We had already experienced that atmosphere while living in Atlanta, but it was fun to enjoy the atmosphere.

 Sydney finally convinced Jake the last few minutes of the game to let her have a turn wearing the helmet.
