Super Saturday!

WOW! We have had a crazy busy weekend! It started Friday night with the Father/Son Campout. They didn't stay the night but the went up for some exploring, dinner, campfire, and fireside. They came home filthy and scared to death (thanks to Luke's vivid storytelling!)


Saturday morning Chase had his first flag football game. He has been so excited for this! He thinks he's going to be a professional football player so he has been anxious to test his skills. Although not quite professional status yet, he did great with a couple tackles (oops! it's supposed to be flag football), perfect snaps (he was a GREAT center) and he even had a go at quarterback and threw for a touchdown (very rare as most touchdowns were rushing)!



Next it was on to the BYU football game! What an awesome game! The weather was gorgeous and we just destroyed UCLA. It was 59-0 when we left! We went with Brett and his fiance, Shantelle. It was so much fun!
Seriously, what a gorgeous stadium! It has to be one of the best!




After the game we headed to Salt Lake for the Dew Tour! The boys love Ryan Sheckler and were so excited to see him in person. We watched all of the warm-ups as well as the whole competition (over 3 hours of skating). Crew was a trouper and it was worth it. Sheckler ended up with 2nd place and a 14-year-old newcomer, Chaz Ortiz just tore it up and amazed everyone, including his competitors to win 1st! I wish my pictures were better. All the action shots were SO blurry. I had my little camera with me all day.


The boys with Sheckler in the background (left side, white shirt). Caden yelled for him endlessly during warm ups until Ryan told him "I'll talk after the competition buddy. I have to skate now". The boys were just thrilled that he acknowledged them.

WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND!

Geoff was a total trooper to take the boys up to the campout for the evening, way to go! How awesome for Chase to have his first "flag" football game, I can just see him getting caught up in the excitement of it all and still tackling someone! AND, that Dew tour looks incredible, I have no idea about it, but Myla would have loved it! so so so much fun!

What a fun day! Way to go Chasers in your football game. That BYU game would have been awesome too. Sad thing is that we should have been there to hang out all day with you guys ;(

I can totally see Caden yelling at Ryan Sheckler until he finally acknowledged him! haha

Way to Go on such a jam packed Saturday! We totally missed out on the Flag Football game and a Soccer game, but he had a blast still!

The BYU game would have been awesome!

You never cease to amaze me exactly how much you can pack into one day. Poor Crew! I kept looking for you on TV during the game (while Russ was fuming of course at UCLA). Did the boys get to talk to Ryan after the competition? Congrats to Brett and his fiancee, she looks very beautiful! I love you!
