Even though it looks like we won the helmet, we were just holding it for the picture. People were staked out here, guessing it was the location for #byu50 so being the fourth or so family was pretty respectable (and we got stickers! ... but no shirts)

We have been looking forward to this solar eclipse for years. Seeing the sun slowly disappear until this glowing corona was revealed was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I found my heart moved and my mind astonished. I'm so grateful the clouds

Well it was fun to wake up early to see the balloons inflate... and deflate. No liftoff today. We'll try again next year, I guess.

Their teams may not have scored any goals all season until the last two games, but they always had fun, post-game snacks, and a post-season medallion. That’s winning.
