Happy Birthday, Dad!

We traveled to Florida last weekend to celebrate my dad's 65th birthday, which meant some of us had to set aside our own collegiate allegiances and embrace Gator Mania for a few days. We began the weekend with orange and blue decorations and an orange and blue cake for Josh and Dad. Josh then went to his first University of Florida football game on Saturday night with Chris, Jon and Dad. Chris said that Josh cheered enthusiastically through the entired 3 1/2 hour game. Score one for Gator brainwashing.

Josh was not happy about being assigned to the kid table. At the low point of his meltdown, he wailed, "I'm so embarrassed!"

We also threw in a few other holidays this weekend, with mom giving the kids Halloween gift bags that felt a little like Christmas.

We also took family pictures with most people wearing Gator shirts. Chris, Amy and I opted out. And on that note, I'd also like to point out that of all of the college football teams represented at this family gathering, only one won their game on Saturday: UNC.

Yes, give credit to the Tar Heels. I am glad someone could play a respectable game. That last picture is too funny. It looks like Elizabeth and Molly are dancing...exactly what you were going for when you told them to line up for pictures, right?
