Go Hawks!

Yesterday we were lucky enough to get to go to the Iowa/Iowa State football game. We had a great time watching the Hawks beat up on the Cyclones (35-7) and want to give a special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa who let us use their tickets AND chased Molly around for the whole day so that we could go.

Mike was excited to see Sen. Chuck Grassley while we were tailgating.

A view from our seats: both teams warming up.

My favorite person to watch Hawkeye football with (unless they lose).

I was excited to see these guys, Keith Murphy and Andy Fales because I listen to their sports radio show everyday on my way to pick up Molly. I actually won a contest on their show a few weeks ago. The prize? 4 free oil changes, boring!

Herky out warming up the crowd.

My favorite part of the Iowa games are when they show the players and Kirk ferentz walking out from the locker room to the field while playing Back in Black. Gives me goosebumps everytime.

Here they come!

This was taken right before a play in which Iowa scored one of their 5 touchdowns.

The ride home from the game was a bit rough. We went to pick Molly and cousin Stephanie up from Grandma and Grandpa's house and about 20 minutes into the trip Molly puked what appeared to be about 78 gallons of disgusting. I'm talking projectile out of the mouth and covering virtually every surface in the back seat. I quickly pulled over onto the side of the highway where we attempted to clean her and the car up with nothing but a package of baby wipes. It was awful! Poor Stephanie was such a trooper because it absolutely reeked in the car. Initially she asked us to call her a taxi, but eventually she settled in and slept all the way home. It was a stinky ride made worse by the fact that we got stuck in the traffic from a multiple car accident so ended up being on the road an additional hour and a half. What is normally a 2 hour and 15 minute drive ended up taking 4 and a half. While it wasn't the most fun experience, we somehow ended up being grateful that she threw up because it delayed our trip about 30 minutes and that is exactly when the bad accident happened. Strange the way things work huh?
