Daddy-Daughter Trip

Michael got a call at the last minute from another attorney who had two spare tickets to Saturday's BYU game.  Rather than try and find another ticket or get babysitters, we decided just to let Michael and Jessica make a day trip out of it.

Jessica is a total daddy's girl, so she was all for it, even if it meant a long drive. When they got to Provo they hiked the Y together.  Jessica did almost the entire hike by herself.  When they got to the top she asked, "Where's the Y?"  Michael explained that it was the big white stuff near them.  "You mean all the fake snow?"  I'm still not sure she believes they were actually at the Y.  They gave Chandler and I a call at the top.  Chan HATES when Jessica is away, so he was sure glad to hear her voice.



After the hike down they went across campus and got Jessica a new BYU soccer t[-shirt at the bookstore.  I am still in shock that Michael resisted the BYU fudge.  Seriously... shocked.

After that it was off to the football game.  Jessica loved all the fun and excitement, as well as the fact that she got popcorn and ice cream for dinner.  Michael told her BYU won - better than the trauma that would have resulted otherwise.

 (yeah, not exactly the most flattering picture.)  :)

On the car ride home, just before she was about to fall asleep Jessica told Michael that "this was the best day of my life."  I think it was a success.

Michael, that picture of the two of you is so good! What a fun day (and way more fun if she thinks they won).

I wish I was four and could easily believe that BYU won. Life is good with ice cream and college football win days.

Another Cougar fan, good job Michael!

That is the cutest. Looks like we're both raising another generation of BYU fans/fanatics :) I love that my husband called yours after the bad BYU game on Friday. It must have helped because he was a little less depressed afterwards!
