Here are some pics. Last weekend, we took the girls to Gainesville to hang out for their first Gator game, It was too hot to take them to the game, so we hung out at Brett and Erika’s. Our friends Jim and Iris and their baby JP were also there. It was really good to see everyone and watch the babies play together. After the game, we took them to their first bar, I mean restaurant, the SWAMP.











We celebrated Erika’s birthday while we were there










After the game we came back to Jax and went to the beach on Sunday. Our realtor Phil invited us to his beach club and introduced us to a lot of folks who work at the University of North Florida. It was a lot of fun, and good to meet some new people.

Sunday night, we drove back to Robin’s parents. I had to go to Denmark for the week, so Robin and the girls spent the week at the grandparents. As always, they had a good time hanging out and playing with everyone.
