We brought crab ragoon wontons and Jess had a bunch of other appetizers that were very yummy. For lunch Glenn grilled some skewers where we got to try out some of the new grilling products that Jessica will be managing at her new job. The rub and the marinade were quite yummy and I think we ended up eating all the food even though they had bought a ton of food.

It’s amazing how much the girls have changed even in the few weeks since the last time we had seen them. Maya especially since on this visit she was now walking. I also thought she’d lost some of her baby fat and was looking very cute. Carolan had so much energy I don’t know how her parents keep up with her. It was a lot of fun spending time with them.

Jessica and Glenn surprised Nicole with a birthday cake. It was the first birthday cake she’s had in at least 6 years (opps on me). Although we had a bit of a problem getting it cut it was a very yummy and Nicole appreciated having a personal birthday cake.

The game itself was a lot of fun. Navy was playing SMU which is coached by UH’s old coach so I was there to cheer on Navy and make sure SMU lost. Although navy’s offense was one dimensional (they never threw a pass all game) they managed to make it a lot of fun. The only downside to our experience was with the weather. The weather for the day called for rain but we were hoping that it would pass before the game started. Unfortunately it ended up pouring almost the entire game. By the time we made it hope after giving up in the third quarter we were soaked. But we did get to have hot chocolate when we got home and sat around relaxing while Nicole’s clothes dried before we went home.
