We met up with some old college friends—Kevin and Tami Fenn—for the afternoon at Cornbelly’s at Thanksgiving Point. Talk about crowded. The place was teeming with people. Liz also joined us for the afternoon. The corn maze was our first stop. The girls called us after a short time pronouncing themselves the winners over the adults, but there might have been just a little bit of cheating (ahem Amy) going on. The adults couldn’t get past checkpoint 4 and finally decided to find a nice place to sit and chat for the afternoon.
Most of the afternoon was beautiful and sunny, but around 4 pm, the wind started to pick up and chill us all. I will admit, I was not exactly looking forward to the football game. It started at 8:15 pm and was going to be so cold.
We grabbed all of our cold weather gear and drove to Orem. The girls drove with Liz who would hang out with us for dinner and then return Misha to the hotel before heading back to Perry, Utah. To avoid all of the crazy traffic, we parked on the west side of I-15 by the UVU campus and rode the bus.
We met up with all of the girls, including Liz, at Rubio's for dinner and then ran to catch the bus to the stadium while Misha and Liz drove back to Lehi. We were pretty early and found our seats without too much difficulty.
When we had my brother purchase tickets for us to attend the BYU Homecoming game against Hawaii, Kristen was quick to say she would pass, however, a couple of weeks ago, Kristen really got hooked on football as Chris explained the game to her. They had been watching the games together ever since. So, I was willing to give up my ticket so Kristen could go. I was even more willing when I found out the game didn't start until late and would be cold. That is, until Misha also realized that the game was late and going to be cold. She was more than happy to have me go instead. The deal to trade was that she would start to work on her FAFSA application. I think she did a little bit of it.
So we bundled up in layers of jackets, hats, gloves, and activated our hand warmers. What kept us mostly warm though were the blankets that Mitch brought for us to sit on and put on our laps. Once they left in the 4th quarter. I started shivering. Much to Chris' dismay, we left with about 7 minutes in the quarter. BYU scored one more touchdown while we waited on the bus to take us back to our car. Brrrrr. So grateful that the bus was warm.
