BSU Homecoming 2025.

BSU had their homecoming and friends and family weekend in October.  We did all the things, starting with the homecoming parade.  I convinced my dad to join me for the parade.  We met up with Kendall beforehand, as she was prepping for her participation in the parade.

After saying hello to Kendall, we headed out to find a great spot on the parade route.

The parade was awesome.  I managed to accumulate all kinds of swag.  One of my favorites is Cathy Jo.  Sidney has aspirations to be the next Bronco girl, though I am not sure that Cathy Jo is ready to give it up.  It is fun to know the Bronco Girl and her horses and to have ridden with her in drill.

My dad got this great shot of Kendall mid turn.

It is not a parade without a few selfies.

All night my dad kept mentioning that he wanted to bring my mom down to the greenbelt to ride Lime scooters.  I kept saying that this was a terrible idea.  He kept pointing out that one can go slow and take it easy.  Of course, he had never been on a Lime scooter.  After the pep rally, I asked Kendall if she would take grandpa on a ride back to her apartment and I could meet them there.  She gave him a few instructions and used her app to secure a couple of scooters and off they went.  I sent my mom a picture, as she was out of town.  I think she was not too sure about this idea until after they made it to the apartment safely.

The next day Sidney, Kendall and I attended the tailgate.

We managed to score even more swag, if this was possible.

We had absolutely TERRIBLE tickets for the game.  Corner section with the absolute back row.  I think we would have needed binoculars to see anything.  The morning of the game, my friend called me.  She asked if we wanted to join her and her friend Mike.  They had scored club seats.  I was ecstatic.  I sent Mike our terrible seats, and he managed to resale them - so we had cash for snacks.  

6-7...

The gang (sans Mike).  He must have been off getting our amazing snacks.

It was the most beautiful thing to have these club seats, as it started pouring in the second quarter.  The wind was blowing like crazy too, and here we are in our covered seats with heaters even!!!  I could not have been more grateful.

As Rebecca so appropriately put it...Better Together!

Sunday morning, Kendall and I met up for coffee and 'Touch the Turf''.

Shortly after this picture was taken, Kendall and I raced to the thirty yard line.  I am VERY competitive and may have crossed the line first.  We will not mention that I did a quick 'Ready, set, go!'.  Yep, I used wisdom to my advantage.  Afterwards Kendall said, "I forget...you are an old person, but you don't have an old person body yet."  I laughed.  I am pretty sure there is a compliment buried in there:).

We purchased a BSU flag to put next to the Cal Poly flag in the den.

Kendall is pretty much famous, as she made the BSU Facebook page.
