England and an Elephant Parade

Bobby recently had the opportunity to go to England. While he was there he got to see a Manchester United game and take a tour of the stadium. It was a short trip, but something that you don't get to do everyday, and will be a great memory for him.
Steak and Kidney pie----not so good

The walk to the stadium on game day---what a great atmosphere!!!
Coaches and players that are not in the starting line up sit here during the game.
The front of Old Trafford!
15 min before game time...at kick off this place was packed(76,000fans) The fans can not drink beer in the seats so they all sing chant and drink in the concession area right up till kick off. Unbelievable to hear these fans cheer and sing their songs.
Meanwhile.... back at home, I took the kids up to Salt Lake to see an Elephant parade. It was a long wait for a short parade but the kids loved it and that's what counts right? Plus they got cotton candy, popcorn, and balloon animals, all in all it was a fun afternoon.



Also while Bobby was in England, Rachel came to stay with me. Austin happened to be out of town at the same time,so it worked out great. We watched chick flicks, went to a BBQ at the Hillman's and just hung out and had fun together. Thanks Rach, the weekend would have felt much longer without you!

WAY COOL!! Not the trip to England so much, I mean, Manchester is neat and stuff, but I'm talking about the ELEPHANTS!! YOU HAD ELEPHANTS IN YOUR PARADE!! I tell you, the parades I've been to over the past few years have gotten lamer and lamer. The last one I went to consisted of...literally....two marching bands and like a zillion vehicles with company names written on the side. I swear we're all just lining up for a big vehicular advertisement!!! But we have to keep on going, why? So we can get all the CANDY!!!
