Tailgate and DSU Football

 We finally went to a tailgate party this year.  It was different. They have changed it so it is no longer a fun place where the students come before the game to eat and hangout.  They changed it all around and took down the fence on the Elementary lawn and put everything over there so nothing is in the road.  They only do hotdogs now and it's really pathetic.  The only people that show up are the old people and the people who feel obligated to support it.  Otherwise we wouldn't go at all.  But the boys do love the climbing wall and now that no one comes that has little kids there wasn't a line to wait in for the wall.  They were trying all sorts of fun things.  Like going one handed as far as they could.  There was a kid next to them the was trying to do it blindfolded.  It was pretty funny.  These fisrt ones of Ben are of him doing it one handed.  He has a split on his hand from The Grip so he was trying to not use his left hand.  He didn't pretty good until he started to fall away from the wall and had to use his other hand to keep himself from drifting off.

 Here is the guy with the blindfold on next to Josh.  He did pretty good.  It took awhile but it was fun to watch.
 Ben went again and wanted Joel to time him.  He did it in 18 seconds.
 David, Matty and Evan showed up a minute later and Matty was crying because she crashed on her bike.   So, I got her all fixed up and then she was ready to climb.

 For some reason I didn't get David climbing, But here is Evan.
 Then they drove their bikes back to the Wells' and Joel, Kyle and I went to the football game.  JoEllen showed up a couple minutes later.  We are supposed to have a nice new facility for the visiting team and bleachers for their fans to sit on so that they aren't by us anymore, but it isn't done yet.  You can see the tractors in the back of that picture. Hopefully it'll be done by next year.   We lost this game to Colorado Mesa 35-22.  It was a great 1st half.  We couldn't hold onto the ball in the 2nd.  Oh well, Homecoming is on the 28th.  We'll win that one.  Go Blazers!
