on the end of our most recent trip to bear lake, we tacked on what we lovingly refer to as an 'indoctrination stop'. fueled by the upcoming husker/ byu game, we: got byu swag, toured campus, and sampled college food at places like j dawgs. our day trip also took us up bridal veil falls, past dalia's name sake, on a hike up cottonwood canyon with lifelong friends, and to cafe rio for burritos.
p.s. i cry every time we leave this beloved indoctrination spot. it has a little hold on my heart and i get a certain homesickness when we leave. we really hope our kids get to experience byu, the beautiful utah valley, and the adventures of the mountains!
the indoctrination culminated in what may have been byu's best football game in history! (paid a million dollars to show up, byu was invited in the hopes that they'd be an easy win to continue the huskers 29 year opening game winning streak) in the absolute last second, byu landed a hail mary touchdown for the win! it was absolutely incredible - husker fans were jaw-dropped speechless and a water fight ensued among the cougars. no doubt about it- mission accomplished!
