Family, Friends, Fun and FOOTBALL

MY team may not have been victorious on Saturday, but we had a fabulous, fun, family and friend-filled football weekend nonethless. (How do you like that alliteration, John?)

The morning began at 6:30 a.m., when we arrived at Grandpa Denny and Nana's house...as you can see, the early morning wake-up call for tailgating did not please the youngest member of our household :) He'll appreciate the necessity of a good tailgating spot soon enough.



By the time we left, Nana had fixed the J-bomb pancakes, thus, mom and dad were altogether forgotten and on their way to Ames.



By 8:00 a.m., we had found our tailgating spot, fired up the grill and found great friends to enjoy some microwave HORMEL bacon on the grill with ... :) And then, KICK-OFF



Following the semi-blowout, we toured good ol' Iowa State, including a stop at GAMMA PHI BETA, where we visited some of our favorite spots (Senior Apartment, Cold Airs and, of course, a picture in the front yard)




We picked Jack up around 5:30 p.m. to discover he had found LOTS of fun things during the day. Mom-friendly stuff like worms, dirt, frogs and had helped pick a plethora of tomatoes.

Good day, good friends....good times :)
