Start of the Season

Football season that is, and it started out with a bang on Saturday! Brandon, Tanner and Zach went with Tyler, Noah and Xander(Brandon's brother and his boys)to go out to breakfast at IHOP.

Then they headed off to hike to the "Y" on the mountain. Tanner did it last year, but this was a first for Zach. He was so excited all week long. He made it up with no trouble and as you can see he especially loved his Camelbak type pack to keep him well hydrated!

After their hike they headed off to the BYU Bookstore. They were going to tailgate with Brandon's Uncle Jeff and his family, but because they were pressed for time, they bought a pizza on the way to the stadium. I went and picked up Zach just before the game started. He doesn't go to the games. He is not much of a fan-um...yet. It all came naturally for Tanner. People used to accuse Brandon of "brainwashing"(he he), but now they know that must not be the case, or else his magic powers would have persuaded Zach by now! I was happy Zach wanted to participate in the rest of the activities and they all had a great time. When I asked Zach what his favorite part of the day was, he said: smiley face pancakes at IHOP. Hmmmmmm...I think I'm hungry now... :)
