BYU Fandemonium

We love those Cougars and Chris throws a great tailgate party each home game.  The kids bring all of their friends and occasionally parents.  Several of our neighbors and friends join in too.

During halftime it's out to the Cougar Statue to throw the football

Here's a November game I came back and added, just to show that we are true - not just fair weather fans

Mother Daughter Hike

I organized a Mother/Daughter hike for activity days.  We drove up to Silver Lake at Brighton.  One of our favorite places.
It turned out to be a beautiful day
