Road Trip2 - part 2

We've had a great time with our kids and grandkids.  We got to go to Donovan's soccer game 
and the BYU/Air Force game.  It was fun to go to the BYU game, but the team played miserably and lost! Since it was 9/11 they handed out flags to everyone coming in the stadium:
 And had a giant flag at halftime:
At the beginning of the game there was a flyover by some really cool planes (sorry I don't know what they were) and at halftime we were treated to a performance by their mascot, a falcon.  We were told that it is the only performing mascot in college football. It was pretty hard to get a picture.
After the game we drove up to the Air Force campus to look around.  The chapel is interesting:
We were able to meet up with a former seminary student of ours, Derek, who is a cadet at the Air Force Academy.  He identified the different buildings for us and told us a little about what it is like to be in the Air Force.  I know he was not the most diligent student in high school, so it was really fun to see him and see how well he is doing. He said he has a 3.8 gpa in college!
