Cougar Football Saturdays...

Well I am going to have to go back on my word from my previous post. I cannot do a full recap of everything since August because my computer at home is broken and I cannot upload my pictures . Eventually I will, however thanks to Facebook and blogs I can do some posting of some of my fun football outings in the past few months. If you already follow my friend Megan on either of those I am going to apologize in advance because these will pretty much be duplicates, and if you don't, well you should and you can by clicking here. I am also going to go ahead and apologize now because this is going to take awhile and because these pics are not in order :) This is not all of the games we went to. I am going to break this up into two posts because there are just too many pics for one so check back for post #2.

As you probably know by now Jim and I are obsessed with anything WSU, so clearly we try to go to as many of their sporting events as possible. As it turned out this year, Jim was unable to attend the majority of the football games because of coaching. He did make it to a few, but I was lucky enough to attend most of the games with the Snyder family. Megan and Chris's nephew starts as a true freshman and he was the one of the few redeeming qualities on this years team. The season may not have turned out like we had wanted but we sure had a lot of fun tailgating before and after and making a few trips all in the name of the crimson and gray! Thanks to all the Snyders for welcoming me into your motor home and for all the great memories. PS: Go Travis!!!

For Homecoming this year we decided to go big and rent an RV. It worked out well because Kathy was not going to be bringing hers down that game so we were still able to have a home base for everyone to meet up. Dawn and her Fiance Dave were coming into town for the game as was our friend Landis, who flew in from NYC. Jim, Chris, Megan, Jeremy and I were all going from Spokane so we had quite the crew. We headed out of town around 5:30 am to make sure to get a spot. We were able to toast the morning sunrise on the way down.

Here are us girls enjoying the brisk morning air and getting ready for the game with a few beverages.

This might be the greatest thing we discovered all season...the PAINTSTICK!!! You have to experience it in person to get the full joy of it-but lets just say it does the body good :)
I had to throw this picture in because its such a classic. Especially if you knew how Dave's evening would end.
Jim and I enjoying life at the game


Dawn and Megan were excited to beat the over/under on putting together ladder golf.

The End (of homecoming weekend)


These next pics are from the Coug game vs Stanford and from the home opener. You can tell which is which by the clothing we have on. The Stanford game we have a few more articles of clothing than we do at the Stanford Game. sorry they are not in any order:
Here is Travis after the game with his Mom, Kathy.
