Whiskey Springs & BYU Football Dances

We had a Kentucky Fried Chicken picnic at Whiskey Springs last weekend with Grandma and our friend's, the Chappell's (in preparation for BYU Football: 7 days, 14 hours, and 12 minutes from the time this shot was taken). After we ate, we began to work ourselves up in a lather as we realized that only one short week and our late summer days would be replaced by cool fall nights and college football. The mere thought of returning to Happy Valley to watch the season opener against Boston College instilled in the boys their desire to do the little known Native American Cougar dance as good luck.

Angela and Grandma also broke into the Cougar dance, but, when they saw the camera on them, for fear of making blogging hit records, they gained enough composure to take this one rare shot. McKay refused to be restrained, only his mother's iron clamp made it possible for him to restrain his Cougar dance (this gets in to all of the boys about this time of year ... and no, it is not school ... it is BYU Football).
This image was taken during Bryson's Maori Haaka War Dance, in preparation for the Bronco Mendenhall warrior mentality preparations. Bryson actually picked this up while Grandma and Grandpa were on their mission, two missions ago, in New Zealand.

RISE AND SHOUT! I CAN'T WAIT!
