Homecoming

We had a really good time with BYU homecoming last weekend. 

We had Emma, Nicole and Jen-Jen (sp?) over Friday night. We took them to the playground at Kiwanis park. It's probably my favorite playground ever. Then we ate ice cream, and played farkle. They slept on camping cots in our living room. Saturday we got up pretty early to go to College Gameday, here in Provo! woot.

Nicole and Emma came with us. We took Jen to where Heather and Doug were staying. Before we left our apartment, Matthew or one of the girls had the brilliant idea to make some Y balloon hats for them to make to wear at College Gameday.



There were a lot of people there.

Then, we took the girls to their races, and watched Jen, Grant, Emma and Nicole race. It was great.

At this point, Matthew and I went to play flag football (ok, only Matthew played) with the ward. The Hogges all went to the Homecoming Parade, and I was excited to hear that everyone loved their balloon hats.

That afternoon we all went to this one restaurant called PizzaPie, that had a pizza and pasta buffet. Fact: not very expensive, and so good. They had cookie dough dessert pizza! Oddly enough, I think this restaurant even showed up in my dream last night...

We persuaded Mike to let us come help him at Sconecutter's at the football game. This was great! We helped him for half the game (they ran out of food at halftime), we got into the stadium for free, and then got to watch the rest of the game wandering from portal to portal. Too bad the game was pretty depressing to watch. But we still had a really good time.
