Whoo Whoooo..Go OWLZ!

Another tradition we love is Cedar Hills Day with the Orem Owlz. This year the day happened to be on July 24th! It was a fun place to be (with the record setting 5,000 other people:)
Lots of friends from our city are always there as well! Here are our good friends the Gordons!
Oopsie! Added this one twice!
Mikelle's friend Madison and her family always go as well.
Kennedy wanted to see the Owl up close so bad and then always gets scared when it is time to say hi! Here is our attempt at least! The poor Owl must die of heat in the costume. We were dying and we weren't even in the costume!
Since life is so busy, I didn't get the tickets from the city until the day before and all they had left was 4 seats together and 2 seats a few rows down. The boys were in HEAVEN sitting together a few rows away from us. It is sad for your kids to grow up but also so nice for them to gain that independence. We were commenting that with the kids getting older, we were actually able to watch and enjoy the game this year!
More good friends..The Boones!
Posing for a scoreboard shot at the end. We didn't win but it was a fun game! Those "Casper Ghosts" were pretty good!
The city called and asked Steve to sing the National Anthem again this year, but since he has had the opportunity for the last few years, he was trying to give others the opportunity. We recommended our neighbor (who is amazing) but apparently they ended up asking this gal. She is 13 and apparently has already sung it a few times at the games as well. We were hoping they would have spread the joy:) What a year for Steve not to do it though darn it--5,000 people could have heard him belt it out:)
We were excited to learn that they were also doing fireworks at the end of the game. It made for a nice surprise and we were able to get our fireworks in for the year (since we were out of town on the 4th where they didn't allow fireworks!) It was a great night together!
