Gator Bait

It's pretty safe to say that we are obsessed with Gators.

 We were able to go to our first SEC football game here and it was a blast. The whole stadium was filled with Blue and Orange with their arms chomping like a Gator would. The atmosphere was incredible. However the game was at 3 in the afternoon and it is way too hot. People were literally passing out from heat exhaustion and dehydration. We only lasted til half time.
 Madden loved the fighter jets that flew over us before the game, and me and Nate loved being there. The crowd chants "GATOR BAIT" and I laugh every time.
 Payne's Praire, a really cool place that we spotted our first "real" gator.
 The trees are amazing here, and it is so green. The water is terrifying because you don't know what lurks below but it is so fun to explore the state.

 Try to find the Gators...

Me and Madden go almost everyday to see this fella, and sometimes he has friends with him, he/they just hang out under a bridge close to campus. We drop Nate off, and put Madden in the stroller to go on a small walk and always stop to say hi. He is pretty friendly. I have seen kids poke him with a stick and he didn't even move. It is a little creepy when they swim towards you but we aren't that scared of them anymore.
