Great night in Charles City (except for the bugs)

Got to see the Corps at dinner, the show and snack last night in Charles City, so forgive me this morning if I'm pumped. The show was awesome. The crowd was great and really responsive to both the Colt Cadets and the Colts. The conditions were ideal until the sun went down and every bug in Charles City found the stadium lights. Bug spray worked for the mosquitoes, but it didn't phase the May flies, the midges, and a bunch of other bugs I don't even want to know the name of.

Dinner menu
Lemon pepper chicken
Brocolli/cheese/rice veggie
Oriental salad
Strawberry shortcake
Biscuits
and, as always, PB&J

Drink flavors were orange and lemonade (some Colts were grateful for the orange break from grape)

Cooks at dinner
Polly
Bruce
Rob
Susan A.
Susan B.
Kathleen

Snack menu
Nachos
Watermelon slices
and birthday cupcakes for "Animal" (one of the Colt Cadets)

Snack cooks included all of the above plus a bunch of Colt Cadet moms and various other hangers-on.

Got back to West Des Moines at 2 a.m. and don't have a voice this morning because I screamed by head off at the show. Ain't summer great!
