Spring football

Saturday we went to watch the Utes in their red and white game. It was a beautiful day to be outside watching football! That is, if you like watching football, which apparently the girls do not. They were ok during the first quarter, mostly because they had cheese bunnies to snack on. Unfortunately I only brought one juice box for them to share, and that caused some problems. Macy also didn't appreciate someone wanting to hold her hand while she walked back and forth on the benches. Kennedy was not interested in the game, but did a better job of sitting still. With about five minutes left in the half, Macy started saying, "I not want watch football! Go home now!" It's a good thing this game was free.

We had more fun at home playing in the backyard - watering the garden, kicking the balls around, driving in the jeep, and doing gymnastics. I discovered that I can do a pull over on the swing set, and the girls were very impressed. It's a trick Kennedy has been working on at the Little Gym.

That night we went for a walk after dinner. Halfway around the block we stopped to scratch a friendly cat. Then that cat, who looked a bit like Alley, started following us. Macy was very excited at first. "Alley is coming," she'd say when she looked behind us. But as she figured out we were trying to discourage the cat from walking with us, Macy started to say, "Alley, go home!" It didn't work. The cat followed us all the way home, and right into our backyard. It was a very nice cat, and it seemed quite interested in staying. Alley (the real one) and Loki came out to check out the neighbor, but once the hissing started it was time for the cat to go home. Jake made me promise that I wouldn't feed it. I guess he's remembering the cats that lived in our condo complex when we first got married. They'd come over to visit if we were out on the porch, and sometimes walk right in the front door over to the food bowl in the kitchen. I guess I didn't do much to discourage it.
