Happy Labor Day 2016. It's always nice to have a three day weekend and have an extra day to "relax". Today the relaxing is mainly giving the kids some TLC as they are both sick. Last Friday Maxwell was diagnosed with Hand Foot and Mouth disease. He's got little blisters all over his hands... poor little guy. Then just last night Nolan started to get a fever, so I'm guessing he has it now too. So we are trying to give them extra cuddles and some rest because apparently there is not much you can do for it other than to let it run it's course. It should clear up in 7 to 10 days.
This past Saturday I attended Iowa State's first football game of the season, and the first under head coach Matt Campbell. The team did not look very good at all,
losing to the UNI Panthers 25-20. Besides the disappointment of the game, I did enjoy myself quite a bit. The weather was beautiful, and I was able to tailgate from roughly 11:15 AM up until the 7:00 PM kickoff. I met up with the Wide Right Natty Light group (Kyle Perkins, Dan Becker, Tim Nevins, etc), but later on I was joined by a couple of old Freddy Court neighbors, Kaitlin & Erin, along with Kaitlin's boyfriend, Zach. We played plenty of games... flippy cup, beer pong, beer ball, and some Frisbee game.
This was the fourth time that I have seen Iowa State play UNI in football. Sadly, the Cyclones are only 2-2 in those games. I've seen Iowa State win in
2015 and
2011, but then the Panthers have won this year and also in
2013.
