Dad celebrated his 28th birthday, (for about the 10th time). He got some great BYU stuff. A few days later he participated in a Master's Swim Meet. He may not have been the fastest in the pool (or even close) but he did get a number of his goal times, which was good because he worked out a ton getting ready for the meet. It was tiring and fun. After the meet Dad took the family out for a "Birthday" lunch, his tradition for the past 20 plus years, and went to Sizzler having the All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp. Yum!

Dad and the kids followed nearly the exact same tradition as last year (which we need to change by the way) going to the BYU vs Idaho St. football game in sub-freezing temperatures and snow. Last year there was 6 inches of snow on the benches and covering the whole stadium and it was about 10 degrees. This year was a bit better, about 30, but it was raining/snowing most of the time. The result was amazingly the same, BYU killed them, the stadium was nearly empty by the end, we had great hot chocolate, everyone was bundled up but still cold, and Kyler, again, thought we'd have to amputate his toes because they got so so cold.
