Fun with the Danner Family

Friday, Dan and I went to the temple after work. We made it just in time for the 8pm session. Afterward we had dinner at Sonic (huge fan of Sonic slushes). We wanted to spend some time with Heather Danner (Kyle) and her family. After the temple we went to Heather's home, she lives 15 minutes from the temple. We spent the night at their house on Friday and stayed all day Saturday.
Saturday, Dan and I babysat Landon and Brooklyn for a few hours while Heather did some shopping. Shae and Carson were at a eagle scout project for most of the day.
Landon and Brooklyn had lots of fun playing games on our cell phones!




Later in the day we went swimming at the community pool. We had to leave early because a thunderstorm was coming through.





We enjoyed dinner with the Danner's and watched the USA vs Panama soccer game. Dan and I had to come home to write our talks for Sunday.

Dodge ball Tournament

The Dow NPN (New Professional Network) put on a dodge ball tournament. In order to encourage networking, each team needed a co-op student, a NPN employee and a dow leader. Janeth, Monica and I played in the tournament with a few other interns. It was lots of fun. My team did well but Janeth's team won. I guess I didn't have the strategy like Janeth did!
After the tournament we went to Chili's for appetizers. Unfortunately Dan missed out on the fun because he was working. =(

Soccer Game

Dan and I went to the Concacaf soccer gold cup game in Houston. We went with my intern friends Janeth and Michelle. There were two games back to back. The first game was Gadaloupe vs Nicaragua, it was a good game with great goals from Gadaloupe 2-0. The second game is what everyone came for. Mexico vs Panama. Being in Houston I think 99% of the fans were routing for Mexico. The game was really good. The first half there were 2 red cards one for each team. The second half started out 10 on 10. With 10 minutes to go a Mexico player was pushed and everything was crazy after that. The Mexico coach was thrown out as well as a Panama player was red carded. The Mexico fans were so mad about the push (and drunk) they started throwing food and beer at the Panama bench. The player were in an uproar and didn't want to resume play with those conditions. Play started 10 minutes later. A Panama player was injured so they took him off with a gurney. As soon as the player crossed the sideline fans started throwing food and beer at him. Pretty much the fans were out of control. It just escalated from there. A guy sitting behind us started throwing beer and was escorted off by the police. Then a couple minutes later a brawl broke out in the front seats of the crowd. The soccer players continued to play but they were hardly playing because they were distracted by the brawl. Anyways, the game ended after 15 minutes of added time. (CRAZY!) The score of the game was 1-1. (The game was a round robin and could end in a tie). Needless to say we had lots of fun. It definitely was an exciting game to go to and Dan's first prof soccer game.
