Football Saturday

Our Saturday was filled with football. Garrett's flag football team had a Jamboree in the morning. The first game started at 9am and we had be there at 8:30. His team, the Irish, played in three back to back half hour mini-games. The kids were a little tired by the last game. We left the jamboree after his last game around 11am. After going home and eating lunch, we left for Qwest Field between 12:30 and 1pm to watch the WSU Cougars play the San Diego State University Aztecs. We parked between 1:30 and 2pm and went to the Pre-Game rally in the Events Center next to the stadium. The kids saw Butch and got their picture with him (see below). They also played in some football air structures, threw the football, and kicked it too. We enjoyed a great Cougar game. It didn't start out great, but the Cougs controlled the game after the first quarter. The Aztecs scored 10 points in the first quarter and then didn't score again until the fourth quarter. We didn't hear a peep out of some Aztecs fans sitting near us after the first quarter. The Cougar quarterback set a school record for completions in a game at 38. He finished the day with 469 yards and 5 touchdowns. The final score was WSU 45, SDSU 17. We got home around 9pm and the kids had fallen asleep on the way home (see below). It was a long, but good day filled with football.
