Will, Ben and I (Mark) went up to the hill for the eighth-annual Fan Fest at the U. In addition to meeting members of all of the athletic teams at the U, Will and Ben got to shoot some hoops with the basketball team, throw softballs with the women's softball team, play tennis and try their best to drop the baseball players into the dunk tank. Above Will and Ben pose with a Cheerleader. Will was totally intimidated and shy when we approached her for a picture. I guess he's starting to get a little uncomfortable around girls he sees as "hot." (His word, not mine. )
This tennis player spent probably 20 minutes just hitting the ball back and forth with Ben. She was so nice to do that. Ben was on cloud nine.
Here's Will doing the softball toss:

And finally... We met up with one of Uncle Ryan's childhood friends, Troy Bunting. Troy grew up in our neighborhood, but moved to Draper prior to High School. Troy transferred from a junior college in Arizona and is sitting out this year due to a shoulder injury. He'll have three more years at the U. Hopefully he'll get a shot to contribute.
It was a lot of fun for all of us and we're already looking forward to doing it again next year! Go Utes!
