If you recall, her graduation was the reason we all made the journey to Florida. The ceremony was due to start at 2pm, which was in the middle of B-Boy's naptime. We decided that Neb would hang out with B-Boy in Tampa while the rest of us went to Gainesville. Good thing, because there is no way B-Boy would have made it through that ceremony.
The graduates proceeded in... GatorGirl was three seats from a girl we called Snowflake because she had an enormous white bow (like what would be on a large present) on top of her mortar board. GatorGirl had also decorated hers, but the large bow made it much easier to find her. She's two down from Snowflake! Look, Snowflake is coming... GatorGirl is nearby!
What? Don't see her? Ok, I'll zoom in.
Curious about her mortar board decorations?
AuntSly and I played a game during the ceremony, kind of like word bingo. We would text GatorGirl how it was going, and that kept her pretty amused.Afterward, we all met outside for a rousing game of PICTURES!!! Poor thing, she was a good sport posing for all those pictures.
I love this photo of GatorGirl with her mom and dad... hopeful and looking to the future.
And this one of GatorGrandpa and his brother with GatorGirl... they seem so proud of her, as we all are!
And where there is a GatorGirl, there is a GatorBoy... who has been really supportive of her while she was in school. Now it is her turn!
Cheese! I am smiling cause I'm DONE! HA!
After all the photos were taken, we all headed to the Red Lobster, where GatorGirl had reserved a room. She and GatorGrandpa would go there before or after going to UF football/basketball games. GatorGirl's Aunt brought the coolest cake, don't you think?
After all the festivities were over, I called in to check with Neb on how they were doing. Not good. B-Boy threw up for the first time. Neb was the only one there and had to deal with it. Poor guys! B-Boy was fine afterward, but never really got his full appetite back after until we got home. It wasn't until we returned that I found out this was going through the daycare and one of his teachers was out sick the Friday before. Sigh. THAT would have been good to know, right?
(And yes, Neb and I both got it when we returned. Nice. Thanks for sharing B-Boy!)
