A Family Tailgate Tale

Thank you to all the families and students that helped make our big campout a success! We had so much fun roasting weenies and burning smores.

We've already been asked to do it again by several attendees. We'll see about the spring... if it ever gets warm enough. Hopefully winter isn't as long this year. In case you missed it, at the campout we set up our own tents, made camera shaped name tags, named our campsites, sang some songs, went hunting for some bears, and then watched Yogi Bear. It was a blast! Literally, during the afternoon it was so windy it moved and almost knocked our blow up screen over. Luckily, though, around the time the event started the wind calmed down.

Blow up screen and clock tower. So pretty :)

The movie was adorable! Even if I only did see 5 minutes of it. One of our board members, who shall remain name less, lost their keys. Two hours later we found them... YAY! and then it was time for bed.  It had been a long fun filled day! The next day? Just as long :)

I guess some SAB'ers are morning people? Note to self: Keep Brooke away from sharp objects

And I guess some really aren't... literally had to use a bull horn to wake him up

After we broke camp, we got showered up and then prepared for our Western States Tailgate party! We had games, prizes, and watermelon. Over 350 students stopped by our table! So if you haven't checked it out already, we put up photos from the day. See if you can find yourself amongst the crowd.

Throw a football through a tire, win a t-shirt. Pretty simple right? Wrong. Some had to try over ten times to get it through. We also had a spinning wheel that you could win a cowbell, t-shirt, coupon to Ruby Tuesday, buttons, and more! We'll be doing this kind of thing at every tailgate, so bring your Bengal ID and you could win next time!

Needs more cowbell!

Next up, Bingo! September 13th, 2011.

Probies, out!
