Our trip to Gainesville - take 2!
We finally made it to a gymnastics meet at UF! It was their Link To Pink meet in support of breast cancer. What a special meet since UF gymnast Rachel Spicer's mom is currently battling breast cancer. We left early from Jax so we'd have time to get dinner first.
Here she is coloring gators and doing a UF word search! We ate at The Swamp Restaurant across from campus. Closest you'll find me to the actual Swamp!
Got ourselves so great seats!
Never would I have dreamed I'd have a kid wearing a Gators shirt and shaking a blue & orange pom pom! The things you do for your kids when you become a parent!
Look how happy she is!!! She hung out in the aisle for a better view of her favorite gymnast, freshman phenom Alex McMurtry!
Yes, she even got to meet Alberta!
Kytra Hunter warming up on beam.
The gator girls having fun at floor.
She ditched me for beam & floor for a better view. She watched the entire meet intensely. She didn't want to miss a thing!
We can't leave until after the awards Mom!
Afterwards she got Kytra Hunter's and Bridget Sloan's autographs. She was bummed she didn't get to meet Alex, but we'll have plenty of time to do that over the next 3 years!
Yes, not only did I buy her a shirt, but also an Albert the alligator. This morning there was a showdown at breakfast. I told her last night at bedtime that it was a good thing she didn't bring Albert to bed with her because he and her Nittany lion probably would have gotten jealous and started a fight! She asked me who I thought would win...I told her in my heart I'd pick the lion. She quickly said she agreed! ❤️
