This is a continuation of Spring Fest. These are just a bunch of pictures taken over the week...

Me, Kevin, Kelsey, Sarah and Colin at the dance.Aaron rockin out our flag!
Badass Buckaroos won the flag portion, great job guys!
The Ra Ra's flag was very cute. What can I say? I'm a sucker for sparkles.
Cowboys and One Indian had a pretty cool looking flag too.

Okay Colin, you pinned Travis once, but he came back to win it!
I love this picture and this team! They were really fun to play with, great sportsmanship!

What a random relay race... Travis and Colin are going at it now!
Yeah Travis! Score Top Gun!
Justin milks his first cow. Not gonna lie, I've never milked a cow before. We did place first in the Relay Race, so kudos to everyone!

Top Gun

Springfest was amazing this year! My team, TOP GUN, had a blast although it was a long, hectic week. For those who don't know Springfest is a week long event with tons of teams competing to be the champions. The first night was Scavenger Hunt, over 300 items were on the list including places we had to take photos at.
Justin and I were on picture duty, we had to find the sundial, the lime green grill, the NAIA Soccer Champions sign, the Chancellor's parking spot... etc.
The next night was Trivia Night and after that was the Flag and Chant. Teams must make up a chant that is creative and includes the team name, color and the theme of Springfest. Our team did a scene from the movie and then a Wild Wild West remix.



We won the chant competition. The next event was attending a speaker event and after that was the Springfest Dance. The last day was sports day, which was freezing cold, but we still made it fun. It included kickball, volleyball, football, ultimate frisbee and a relay race.

We ended up finishing in 4th place out of 22 teams, not bad. I'm going to put up a blog just of photos from the week, so stayed tuned!
