So we got up this morning with plans to walk around Kinnick before the game. We checked the radar and knew it was going to be a rainy day. We decided to go anyway b/c we wanted to say hi to my cousin Jason who was bringing his 6 year old to his first Hawkeye game!... and we thought we could beat the rain. We ended up running into some friends that Paul works with who happened to have two extra tickets. We took them (still knowing that it was going to rain). We had no rain gear - and really weren't prepared to sit through a rainy game with the clothes we did have - Paul was wearing shorts. It was 54 degrees. Just a few short minutes after the game started it started to sprinkle. Then the rain really started coming in the 2nd quarter. At halftime the concession area was packed from people trying to warm up a bit. Luckily we did receive an oversized garbage bag from another friend. Paul and I poked two holes in it and shared it to stay somewhat dry. But... hey - NO fair weather fans here!!! This may be the only game I get to this season so I was glad we did it - rain or shine! And the Hawks dominated - even better! Saturday, September 25, 2010

Ranked!
Despite a heartbreaking beginning to our season (two senior boys decided they wanted to go out for football - b/c they thought they would always regret not having the "football experience" - even though their team was ranked 8th... seriously too heartbreaking to write more than that).... our GIRLS are ranked 10th in the state in 1A!!!! Not only is this team hard working and very talented, they are such an awesome group of girls! I couldn't ask for a better team. I am so proud of them and am excited to see what the rest of the season will bring!

Reunion in P-town
I have been holding off on writing this post b/c I was hoping for some pictures to share but the pictures I was given said "No copying" so I thought I better follow the rules! In August we spent the weekend in Pella with Paul's family - Ruth's side. It was Grandpa John's 80th birthday and the whole family was together. We had a great time and took a whole family picture. I think the pictures turned out very nicely - sorry I don't have any to share! We also had a giant water fight after the formal pictures which also would have been fun to share in pictures. Anyway, I guess you will have to trust that we had a fantastic time in Pella and hope to keep this tradition going.
