It's always fun when Ellsworths come

Kami and Brent came to visit this weekend. Our fun weekend began on Friday night at the E Center for Arena Football. The Blaze were playing the team from Arizona. Raleigh and I are personal friends of the mascot, which is this UGLY Planet of the Apes dude here below.

Anyway... we asked him if he could get us good seats to the game. " No Problem", he said... "four tickets will be waiting at Will Call". So we get there, give them our ID and you guessed it.... NO TICKETS. Not under Raleigh's name, not under my name, not under Joey's name, not under the mascot's name... NOTHING.

Raleigh and I start dying... here we thought we were so rad... "we've got connections, don't worry. We'll hook us up with awesome seats and probably free t-shirts too." Well, it seems we are not as good of friends with the Monkey as we thought we were. So we are all standing there... rejected...listening to the game.... trying to figure out what to do...

Raleigh is texting like a madman and I go to the man in charge of Will Call and start pleading our case... It was a sad tale that I told... and it was almost totally all true too. And the best part was it seemed like the guy was buying it. And that he might help us.

We stood there for like 20 minutes and finally this kid shows up. "Are you Raleigh?" he asks... "I am the mascot handler... I was told to come find you... I have your tickets " Well, finally. Here we go... we are thinking... front row seats in the middle of the stadium.... here we come.
We begin following mascot handler through a series of twisted tunnels, back past the employee locker rooms, the laundry center, the electrical room...lights are flickering, it kinda stinks... Oh man these are going to be GOOD seats.

Then he takes us to the SERVICE ELEVATOR.
See here we are underground and backstage waiting for the scary service elevator to take us to our super cool seats right???

Here is the view we should have had from our super cool "we are so friends with the coolest people", seats.

Here was our view.

Yep, that would be the end zone that you are looking at. And there is a better view of our dumb friend Joey, who apparently has ZERO connections with the Blaze People whatsoever.

Ya Ya... you're the mascot... big deal.

We tried to have good attitudes and laugh at the whole thing. Afterall... the crappy tickets were free.
But Peyton was SOOOOOOO mad!!!!


JUST TRY AND GET HER OVER IT.




Then on Saturday Night we went to the Eagle Mountain Rodeo.

It was as cold as hell and my St. George Relations forgot to pack warm clothes. Here are Kam and Brent... freezing

Allie tucked her shirt in and wore a belt because "that's what cowboys do... duh"

I had a fun time, I think we all did.

Thanks for coming guys... it was if nothing more... a funny weekend to blog about
