Conference Weekend

BYU or USU, who to cheer for? That is a difficult question. We recently went to the BYU v USU football game. It was a toss up of who to cheer for. I almost felt sacrilegious not cheering for BYU even though we are true blue Aggies through and through.  As you can see in the pictures we were all decked out in our Aggie Gear, I was a little worried walking through the streets of Provo that we might get Jello thrown on us or something.  People kept giving us the evil eye everywhere we went, and they say we have mean fans.  

We went out to eat with my Aunt Phyllis, Greg, Leanne, their kids, Vanessa, and Spencer before the game, all BYU fans dressed in BYU gear.  While we were waiting for a table this guy came up to us and said "Looks like you guys come from a mixed family."  Some people in our party looked at the guy like "did you honestly just ask that?  So Travis has dark skin, he is standing right there idiot."  For the other half of our party that knew what this guy meant - USU and BYU fans,  it was hilarious to see the reaction of the other half of our party.  

The game was packed and we had such high hopes for our Aggies.  We made it down to the last 15 seconds beating the Cougars, but in the end the Aggies lost.  It was depressing but such a miraculous catch by the Cougars it was hard to not be a little excited for them too.  After the game we headed down to my moms house to spend Conference Weekend. 

We always have such big plans for Conference weekend but by the time you listen to Conference make lunch, etc. we only had time for a drive up the canyon.  My sweet Grandparents came up and visited for Saturday.  They are seriously the best!!  We rode up to some spectacular scenic view points.  Vanessa and I enjoyed our ride in the back.  We kept getting forgotten about though.  We got locked in the car a few times which just lead to more laughing.  People were probably getting a little fed up with the constant giggles. On the way down the mountain we stopped and fished.  It was fun to cast a few worms out there before the rain came in. 

We really enjoyed our visit down there.  It is always fun to go to Ephraim and reminisce of my days at Snow College.  There are so many good memories from there.  We left on Sunday after a delicious turkey dinner, which made me so excited for Thanksgiving.
