Lunch at UF

Ben just started speech therapy this week through our school system. Because the school year is already underway, we just had to go with the time slot that they had available. Unfortunately, the time slot that is available for them conflicts four times (out of eight sessions) a month for us with MOPS meetings, preschool, and co-op days. But thankfully, we have wonderful family and friends who are willing to help me get everyone where they need to go so Ben can make all eight sessions each month.

This past Thursday, Janice was in town to take Ben to speech from his school while I was with Rosemary at co-op. Afterwards we headed down to pick Jonathan up from his work and grab a quick bite to eat. When we pulled into his parking lot, there were two open metered spaces (something that never happens!) so we took one and went inside to see Jonathan’s office then walked over to eat lunch at the Hub. It was an impromptu campus visit, but was so much fun.

We found a table outside while Jonathan got our Chick-fil-a…no kids meals on campus though!

It was a perfect day to eat outside. And when we were walking over to lunch, it was in between classes so it was fun to be a part of the hustle and bustle.

From where we ate lunch we could see the French Fries so the kids wanted to climb all over those.

Ben couldn’t get quite as high, but it won’t be long.

As we headed back to the car, the carillon was chiming. They thought it was so loud.

And they loved seeing the alligator beside the University Auditorium

Such a fun, quick visit back to campus. It’s been a long time since I walked through the heart of campus on a school day. Some things had changed (like the Krishna’s now have chairs???), but a lot was the same. It was fun to share it with our kids.
