CMU football- game 2

Yesterday afternoon was our second home football game of the season. For this game, my parents came up, along with the Oglesby gang (minus Uncle Mark), and Jason and Kristina!! Taylor, Jason, and Kristina all did Chip Crew with me, and we had a blast!!

Here's a shot of the whole Chip Crew...Can you spot Jason, me, Kristina, and Taylor?

The girls
Kristina and Jason...and despite the look on Jason's face, they both had a great time
My mommy and daddy, along with Aunt Karen and Madison watching from the stands
The game started off rather slow, but came down to the last 3 seconds...
We managed to hold off Buffalo in the end, and won 27-25. It's a good thing their attempted field goal bounced off the post!

And of course Madison had to join in on the picture taking fun

College students like playgrounds too!

Yesterday Aliscia, Emily, and I went to Island Park. We decided it would be fun to play on the playground :) Afterwards we got pizza and had a movie night where we watched 50 First Dates and The Lion King. It was a fun evening with roomies! Here's a few of the 156 pics we took at the park:

I just decided to stop and hug the pole, but it ended up being a really cute picture!
Climbing the rope web thing
Practicing my gymnastics skills
Emily and Aliscia on the slide
Above me was this tire tunnel thing that I had to climb through to get to the swing...it was cool
More gymnastics skills....or hanging upside down like a monkey, whichever way you want to look at it
Wheee!
Balance beam was always my best event....but it never wobbled like this one did!

Jumping off our swings together!

Flying like superman

Things we do to procrastinate homework...and other random pics

One night, none of us wanted to do homework, so what did we do? Everything BUT homework!
We put together a 300 piece Johnny Depp puzzle

We went to Wal-Mart and bought ice cream, then ate it. It was delicious!!!
We made window clings
And we played DDR...funny story about this...when Laura and I went outside to cool off from playing DDR, this slightly intoxicated guy and his friends were walking by. One of them stopped and said hi and started talking to us. We learned that his name was Ben and that they had just left a party that had gotten broken up by the cops. I asked them if they went to get free hotdogs from His House that night, and they said no, but asked us if we went to His House. I said yes and then invited him to come to the service the next morning. Ben was excited to go and he set his alarm on his phone that night so he would wake up in the morning. He came Sunday morning to His House and it was really cool. It was very much like Beach Reach...funny how God works in such random ways sometimes.
Here is a random pic of Matt and his girlfriend, Lauren. They got dressed up the other night and went out to eat, then stopped by my apartment to get my fondue maker so they could do fondue. Aren't they cute?!

Rope swinging into the Chip River

Over Labor Day weekend, I went rope swinging into the Chippewa River with a group of friends. It was a blast!!!!! I was waiting to make this post until I got pictures from my friend, but she hasn't posted them onto facebook yet, so for now, you get a video. Perhaps pics will be added later.
