Daddy and Derek Trip to Gainesville

Matt took Derek to a Florida football game in the Swamp. The Gators were playing South Carolina. The boys had a trip of a lifetime and shared some awesome memories.

Matt took Derek to the bookstore. Derek picked out a sweet Gator football and Gator shorts for himself. They boys picked up a tank top for me and a cute dress for Rylie. Then they explored the campus. Checked out Lake Alice, but didn't spot any gators.

For dinner, Matt and Derek met with our friends from Family Church and had dinner.
