Oh Rise and Shout

Erik and I went to the controversial BYU vs. UW game on Saturday. It was a beautiful, sunny day for football.
Below is a picture of the score at halftime. 14-14.
Here is the final score. BYU-28 UW-27. What a heart stopper of a game. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. You might notice many of the UW fans have already left. They were quite upset. It is still a major news story around here. If you have been living in a bubble, here is what happened. BYU scored to make it 28 to 21 and gave the ball back to UW with 3:30 on the clock. UW drove and we should have recovered a fumble once and had them stopped because they went for it on a 4th down and 10 to go. And they made it!! Then they were on the 3 yard line and the UW quarterback juked and jived his way to the end zone, celebrated a little too much and landed a 15 yard penalty for the PAT. Which then BYU blocked to win the game! WAHOO!!
Here is the happy BYU crowd and the depressed UW crowd. Also the football players are coming around and giving high 5s to some people. It was an exciting game. I am so glad that we got to go. Also my old boss was there and we got to hang out with her, because she is the one that hooked us up with the tickets.

BEACH!

We went to the beach on Labor Day. It felt a little more like a parking lot. There was a lot of traffic (cars, horses and scooters) driving on the beach. It was crazy. We both had never seen a car drive on the beach before. We even did it. 
One of the 2 whole sand dollars we found. Erik got really excited every time we found a large chunk of one. After about 1/2 hour of finding many pieces we found this whole one. We walked a long the beach for about 1 mile or so. The water was cold. But we still stuck our feet in it. 
It was beautiful. It was sunny and around 65 degrees. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to get there. We packed a picnic and ate that on the beach. We also played card games, which Erik thought was silly, but I liked it. 
There we are at the beach. This is not fake. 
Our shadows still exist! This is proof that there is sun in Washington. We even got sun burnt on our legs, because we rolled up our pants. All and all it was a great day. Goodbye.
