This last weekend was Homecoming here at UF. We played Arkansas and won... though Peter says we played so bad we should have lost. Oh well. Homecoming Friday is a HUGE holiday here. I think most of town is closed so everyone can participate. We enjoyed the day so much last year, we decided to go ahead and do the exact same thing this year. We drove down as close as we could. Then we walked down to the parade route, made a stop in Jimmy John's for lunch, (It's my all time favorite sandwich shop. If you ever get a chance, you should definitely try it out. The french bread is amazing.) the stepped out on the sidewalk to watch the parade.
The kids sat in the double stroller. We thought it would be easier to keep track of them that way. Here they are watching for the Fire Trucks coming down the street. I think that was their favorite part. It was LOUD but it's so neat to see the fire trucks and police cars come by with all their lights and sirens. I just love how you can see the anticipation in their faces as they wait for all the excitement to come their way.
They both had a blast waving at the people in the parade. However, Emily was quite distracted by the Sprite for a while. Not often that she's allowed to hold a huge old cup all on her own and drink as much as she wanted.
