Best Football Game!

Our friends Josh and Sharsti decided to fly out from Utah to come to the BYU vs Cal Berkeley game and do a little site seeing in the city.  They asked if we wanted to go with them and we happily agreed.  It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving (and a belated birthday present to me...apparently BYU games around my birthday are now a tradition)

We were quite stressed out before the game because we tried so hard to find a sitter for Madeleine but everyone was either busy (my $10 an hour person) or wouldn't charge less than $18 an hour. Since it would be a very long day, I seriously couldn't stomach paying someone that much to watch her.  Seriously, $18 an hr is ridiculous!! Anyway, so we decided we would just have to take her with us.  I was quite nervous, but it couldn't have turned out better.  She was actually very well behaved the whole day and I didn't have to stress or feel guilty about leaving her for so long (not to mention we were much richer as well) 

We had so much fun seeing Josh and Sharsti.  We had lunch and dinner together plus the game was super close and BYU pulled out the win in the end!!   And to top it off, it was supposed to rain, but the weather held out and it was gorgeous the whole time.  (much much better than the last BYU game in Notre Dame with subzero temps) 

I don't usually take Madeleine on such outings so it made me so happy that she was good and we were actually able to enjoy something for once!! lol
