Saturday

It was the day of the BYU vs. Utah game. David and Mike had tickets but Grandpa really wanted to go and Lisa did too. I kept checking on Craigslist to see if I could get a good price, but Grandpa wanted to wait and see what would happen. When he went running, Lisa and I decided to take charge. We found one that was a good deal and they wanted to get rid of them soon, so she grabbed her cell phone and called the number...only to find out it was one of her friends from their last ward! The girl was going to give us the tickets for free, but Lisa got her to take some money for them. It worked out great and we got them for face value (plus a little because she was a friend).

We then decided to go bowling Saturday morning. We went to the Wilkinson Center and had a great time...minus some glitches with our lane and our scoring computer for a minute. Grandma won. Courtney using the aimer-thing so she did pretty well. Ethan got a strike. Bryan threw the last frame so we would have the same score (I think he did it so I wouldn't feel bad about playing so badly!). Lisa, Mike and Carter just watched and looked cute.

We went back to the apartment and everyone got ready to go to the game. We weren't going so we offered to babysit Carter while Grandma went to scan genealogy sheets. We watched the game on TV and it was a great game!! The kids loved playing with Carter. He was easy to entertain until the end when he was really tired and we were making dinner and couldn't hold him. Luckily, that's when Grandma showed up and took charge of him.

The game ended with BYU WINNING!! It was a bit scary at the end, but it turned out well. The Utah fans were on the corner of Bulldog and University Avenue at Provo High when we were driving around and they were yelling at everyone who drove by. It was a big obnoxious. I was glad we were in a car and not on a scooter because they got the bulk of the harassment.

Dinner worked out well. Bryan and I made Zuppa Toscana (from Olive Garden) and bread from Macaroni Grill. It was good. Then we all went to bed.
