Macey's BYU Tailgate Party

This is something extremely new for me, Macey's, our favorite grocery store ofter puts on these very well attended tailgate parties. Usually I'm not real big on cozying up to one quarter of northeast Orem, but I made an exception last night.

We got steak dinners for $3.00! Wow! They had 1,200 steaks to grill up and sell to fans to munch on while waiting for the drawing. They give away several pairs of tickets and lots of BYU game gear.

The kids love it because they have those giant inflatable slides for them to play on and the bounce house. They also had a Halloween Cookie decorating tent. Heather made me a nice green ghost with sprinkles, then she bit off it's arm and Bob broke off his head. I got the rest of him though and it was really good.

The party started at 4pm and we didn't get there until 5:30 so we had to wait in a huge line that wrapped around the side of the building. We had passed Bob's Mom and Dad just sitting down to eat on our way to the end of the line so they saved us some seats at their table. Bob's brother Wade joined us in the line and we had some fun conversation. We also had the cookie that Heather made as an appetizer.

We didn't win any prizes but the steaks were great and the company was wonderful. Before we left we were able to grab some scones with honey butter. I would say that we had a lot of fun!
