TCU tailgate party

Well, I'm 38 and made it to my 1st ever tailgate party. Air Force vs (14) TCU. It was pretty much eat and drink several hours before game time. I think we made it out there at 10:30am and the game was not till 2:30pm. So as you can see plenty of time to hang out eat, drink and play football against all the youngsters. Had a great time and would do it again.

Here is the tailgate crew getting ready to fire up the grill.


Kevin shoots some fuel to the fire. Great picture Mark.

Ok, yes it's a Miller Light. Just chilling waiting for the food.

Calling all the young ones to come eat. Hot dogs, burgers, chips, salsa, potato salad and desserts.

Air Force snaps the ball for a punt. TCU won 44 - 10. It was a blow out.

Hey friends, here is some mountain that we flew over leaving Seattle in September. Claudia may be able to let us know which one it is.

Cedar Creek lake house

The boat house. Stores a nice boat, bass boat and wave runner. It is set up with stereo system and one big deck on top to enjoy the sunrise and sunset.

Here is one of those beautiful sunsets from the lake.

Cam, me , Bear and Jacob. Cooling off. We ran a water line out to the boat house from the lake house. So we needed some relaxing.
