It was FREEZING ~ Iowa State Game

Yep...somehow Sister Beth and I were talked into going to the Iowa State vs. West Virginia game the day after Thanksgiving. At first, it seemed like it would be a good idea. The weather had been gorgeous up here - a little chilly, but the sun was out and the wind wasn't terrible.

Well, all of that changed over night. When Brad and I got up Friday morning (no we did not go shopping), um there were definitely SNOW flurries! The sun was out, but it was frigid!! Around 11:30 am, we drove out to Ames (where Iowa State is). It was about a 2 hour drive and we were very bundled up. I'm talking 2 pairs of pants, 3 tops, hats, gloves, goats, socks, etc. Brad and I met Sister Beth and Brother Gene in Ames. We got to our hillside seats and had blankets under us and wrapped around us... Let's just say...
I/WE FROZE TO DEATH!
Seriously people, I'm talking frostbite. I was convulsing shaking the whole game. I know, I'm a wimp, but even Beth, who is used to this, was freezing! We toughed it out and stayed the whole game. It was a good game, pretty close, but Iowa State lost. Sad.

After the game, we went to the famous "Hickory Point" restaurant. It's a BBQ/burger place and it was delicious! I'm glad Brad thought to bring me there so I could experience it!

Overall, we were FREEZING...but we had a good time :) Next year...season tickets!
