We arrived on Saturday the 2nd and hit the streets right away. We went shopping in Olde Town Scottsdale and then back to the hotel to get refreshed and changed for the Live Radio Show held at the Fox Sports Grill. It was packed and we had a good time. Kris's work helped put on the event along with the Alumni Association so I was put to work right away handing out raffle tickets but had a great time doing so. Sunday we/or the BAA held a pep rally at Tempe Beach Park and the turn out was incredible, I think about 10,000 people showed up. That evening we dined at a nice restaurant at the resort we stayed at and called it an early night.
Monday was the big day, we started the day off at a Presidential Breakfast (we sat next to Barbara Morgan, the astronaut and some other rich people) then we loaded a bus with about 40 other Athletic Staff members and some nice donors to place 20,000 (yes you read it right) 20,000 orange pom poms on the seats inside the stadium. I thought this task would have been terrible but we did it in about 1.5 hours and after wards we went to Margaretta ville and hung out before the tailgating began, and did it begin.
The game was a blast the win was even better. The return home was great to have the hug and kisses but I will pay for leaving her for a few days until I have to leave her again to head to Key West to visit Shelly at the end of the month, but at least she will have her hero Dad with her.
Off to do laundry and scrub the toilets! (sounds fun doesn't it)
