The Big Game

One of Marty's birthday presents was a couple of tickets to the BYU-Utah football game. I had the weekend off and before I knew it the whole family was making the trek north with Marty and I to the Wasatch Front. The girls had shopping malls in mind with it's bigger and better selections (everything I need can be found at Outdoor Outlet). Sheri had obtained 4 tickets to the game through the student association at the University of Utah. She generously gave up her spot to Eric and so it was Marty, Eric, Peter and myself who departed SLC on Saturday morning 2 hours before kickoff. We arrived in our seats about one minute before it started. Yea, lots of traffic. The game was great. The packed stadium (65,000 people) was impressive and the crowd was enthusiastic and mostly dressed in blue. We were surrounded by several hundred fans dressed in red and obviously rooting for Utah. This didn't deter Marty with his blue sweatshirt. It was an exciting game and the overtime series played out right in front of us in the North endzone. One of the best college football games played in a long time. We then headed up to Midway and had dinner at the Homestead with Grandma and Grandpa Larsen. Sunday morning we went to church in Midway and had the extra pleasure of sitting in on Grandma's Sunday school lesson. We enjoyed playing with Mollies puppies before making the long drive home.
