Last Saturday's ISU Volleyball match

Since the building this team usually plays in flooded in June and the repairs haven't been completed, the team is using Ames High School as their 'home' turf.

Above: The ISU team lines up before the game to be introduced. Below: Cy, the ISU mascot (Cy, the Cyclone!) watches the game from the sidelines.

This is the Oklahoma volleyball team warming up on the fancy floor that was put together like a puzzle over the basketball surface.

This is the 34 second video of the pep band playing the ISU fight song!!

Ben's football game Senior night and Noel on the old furnace

My youngest nephew (not GREAT-nephew, Izaac), Ben, is quarterback on his high school's football team (again) this year and the seniors were honored Friday evening by walking with their parents onto the field.

This is Noel last week when the OLD furnace was removed. She had to inspect it for the heating guy. (Still without heat and a/c waiting for an electrician to come and work his 'magic' so the heating guy can finish!!!)

This is the 23-second video of the Senior 'ceremony' last Friday evening. The first half of the football game was exciting! (we left at half-time)

A nice day at Como Zoo (Sunday)

We saw seals and sea lions frolicking...

two kinds of flamingos and other interesting water fowl...

cuddling spider monkeys...

a rather bored-looking gorilla....

and some tourist-type animals!! (Samantha and John)
