BYU vs Tulane: New Orleans and the Sants!!

We went to another BYU game, this time in Louisiana at the Superdome. It was a different experience going there. Even though it's only a few hours away, Louisiana is so different from Texas. For starters, New Orleans is below sea level and there is water all around the cities. The highways are built up on pillars but the water wasn't that far below so it seems like if it rained too much or something the roads could all flood over. I also saw the Mississippi River for the first time. We drove down Bourbon street as well and I don't want to talk about it! It was nasty there.

It's a little hard to see but here is Kenny, Jon, Jennifer and Grandma Waite's head on ESPN!!
I was standing right next to Kenny but of course the camera cut me off

We saw the Sants at the game!!! It was amazing. I wish I had gotten a picture of Larry and Tiffany also. But we're hoping it's not the last time we see them in Louisiana.

Dale, Kenny, Shelby, Gina, and Grandma Waite at the BYU tailgate party. It was at the tiniest church building I've ever seen. I thought it was a little house until I saw the steeple.

It was a really fun trip!!

BYU vs Oklahoma State at the new Cowboys Stadium

This was the best game ever! We were up in a box right about at the 50 yd line, so we had a great view and also there was a gigantic HD tv screen in the middle of the field and we had a full view because of where we were sitting. It was in Dallas and I've never been there before but I liked it a lot, it was nice there. Here are some pictures of where we were at and of everyone screaming after we won the game.

Kenny cliff jumping

During the week we went wakeboarding and waterskiing, and tubing. But the boat broke down at the beginning of the week so we didn't do as much of that as we would've. We still had fun playing games, swimming, and catching fish. It got really stormy though, and while everyone was cliff jumping it got really stormy. When we got back to the house boat the anchors were all pulled out except for one and the boat had flipped around and was against the shore! We don't have any pics because we were all too frantic with helping to take any. Everyone was in the water trying to find the anchors and the ropes and turn the boat around, but some of the ropes got stuck in the propellers. Meanwhile there was a ton of lightning and it was really windy. Finally after like an hour and a half and another camp's help we got everything back in position and re-anchored. It was pretty eventful! And fun.
