Football in Fayette, Iowa

The Bair family went to Upper Iowa University (UIU) on Saturday to cheer on the St. Cloud State University Huskies as they played the Peacocks of UIU. It was Homecoming weekend for UIU so the alumni director in me had to check things out. There were tailgates in the parking lot, beer pong throughout the game, Hall of Fame inductions at half-time and a tent at the game serving beverages to alumni! The Huskies took care of the Peacocks in a 57-10 victory and the day was perfect until the skies opened up in the 4th quarter. Thank goodness Jenel had ponchos and Liza was mostly covered in her stroller on the sprint back to the car. After the rain stopped and we dried off we had a fun early dinner in the town of West Union with good friends and enjoyed the company of new friends - Carlin and Courtney. Thanks for the invite Jenel we're so glad we came.

We arrived with enough time to spare, surprisingly, since I thought the game started at 11:00 am and we got there a little after noon. The game started at 1:00 pm so we didn't miss any of the action. While we were waiting for the game to start Liza was burning off a little energy in grass by the parking lot.

During the game Liza had a dirty diaper and behind the visitor stands was a nice grassy area so I took her back there and changed her diaper and then tossed the dirty in the Huskies trash can on the sidelines - thanks! Not too long after changing her Liza grabs the changing mat and wipes and heads back to the same area behind the stands. So I followed her back there and she asked me to lay out the mat, which I did, and then she got out a wipe and pretended we were changing her diaper again - it was so funny! Here she sits on her favorite diaper changing spot on the UIU campus.

Since Fayette is very small we made the 7 mile drive to West Union, IA for dinner at the Tap't Out Stein-n-Dine. Jenel and I had to take pictures so as we were leaving we snapped a few pictures. Here are Ian (he was a groomsman in our wedding) with Bair and Liza.

And the rest of the St. Cloud gang, Carlin, Courtney, Jenel and Ian. Great to see everyone and we hope it's not so long between visits.
