RISE & SHOUT . . . HALEY'S OUT

On Saturday, November 15, Haley went on her very first
outing with Auntie Ann.  It was a BYU football game! 
 Haley chose a her souvenirs, a darling BYU hat,
water bottle, a BYU football coloring book, and crayons.


 Aunt Ann bought two new Christmas ornaments!


 Haley's first art work...waiting to go to our seats.
Coach Bronco Mendenhall





 WHAT WAS THAT ZOOMING BY???






 
 Fun with the percussion section.


WE HAVE A DRUMMER!!!











SELFIE TIME
(a distraction from the cold) 








 

 Fourteen degrees, with the wind chill factor,
was too much for Haley.
We left at halftime.


But, look at this way cool book Haley
brought to read to Grandma Dixie!!!
