We.Said.I.DO!: Family Visit

Last weekend, we had a wonderful visit from my family! They came in for the Iowa / Ohio State game and we had a GREAT TIME! Special thanks to Cyndy and Garrett for joining in on the fun! We loved having all of you!

Friday night we went to a great restaurant, Ted's Montana Grill. It was a place that would serve bison upon request. They had the greatest homemade pickles....I think we went through 6 bowls before dinner!

Then we took everyone to the Columbus Blue Jackets game. It was my first ever hockey game - and PROFESSIONAL hockey game at that! It was "ELECTRIC" as Brandon would say. The Blue Jackets tied up the game in the 3rd period and both teams went scoreless during overtime. This meant we got to see a SHOOT OUT! Talk about nerve wrecking! It was so exciting to see the Blue Jackets score the goal that won the game. Everyone had a great time!

Garrett has Taylor's signature pose down pretty well!

Saturday was the big game. We decided to dress in Hawkeye gear (and Brandon in his Alabama gear) to tail-gate with the Iowa Fans. We even went in to the "Hawkeye Huddle" and scored some free popcorn and trail mix! The brats we cooked on the disposable grill were awesome and we had fun throwing a football around before the game.

Kasey, Taylor, Garrett, and Cyndy scored tickets and got into the game....the rest of us had to watch on the TV....but that meant we got to see the 5 second national tv slot when the cameras zoomed in on my sisters! It was hilarious!!!
