The final fling before the ring
To help Amber celebrate her upcoming wedding, I had to throw her a bachelorette party. It started off at a restuarant in Davenport, from there we boarded a party bus and hit up the bars. It was a long night of fun. Here are a few PG pictures.
On Fire!
SO after the Arizona game, while Jen and I were waiting for Josh to be done "Working" we were tailgating and avoiding the gnats, and noticed that the dumpster was smoking.
So we got on the horn and called Josh, he then radioed public safety. He thought i was a little too drunk and was joking with him. Anyway public safety showed up.
Then the fire department showed up. The flames were now shooting out of the dumpster. The smoking had turned into a rip roaring fire. Good thing we called the ICFD.
Another good deed done!

Football
So the Hawkeye football season is well underway. The hawks are currently 4-0. They have beat UNI, Iowa State, Arizona and most recently Penn State. It seems every game is close until the second half until they pull away. Here are few pics from the Arizona game

Sink or Swim
Well we found out Kona does not apprectiate the water, unless of course it is to drink. It was the annual paddle at the pool. The city park pool is open to dogs at the end of the season, before they shut it down. WE though that perhaps Kona would like to go swimming. There were happy dogs out in the water fetching balls and swimming. Kona on the otherhand wanted nothing to do with it. We finally got her coaxed into the little wading pool, but she always made a break for it.
kona seemed more interested in making new friends and playing with other dogs, chasing them around the pool.
Sox vs Sox
So after the close victory with UNI, it was time to pack it up and head back into the windy city again. More dunkin coffee woohoo!!
This trip to Chicago was to see the Red Sox. They were in town to play the White Sox. We were going to the game on Monday (labor day) So we got into town a little after noon on Saturday and decided after all the times in Chicago we had never taken a boat trip on the river or the lake. On our way to the boat ride we saw a little street performance. They were pretty good.
We got in line to board the boat, there were a lot of people on this tour. We found a seat near the railing. There were a lot of non english speaking people on this trip, they didn't understand they had to sit before the boat would go, it took a while to get going.
After the boat tour we decided that we needed something to eat so we thought we would try the Billy Goat Tavern, well it didn't look to appealing so we settled for a little place on the river and had a sandwhich and beer.
We thought we should chekc out the Navy Pier fireworks, so made our way to the Pier after supper. We had a little while to wait, so we got some drinks and chilled out, almost falling asleep. Then it was time for the show.
The next day we finally got to sleep in. However Josh went to work out. I enjoyed the sleep and the view from our hotel.
We then got ready, grabbed soem coffee and hopped the "EL" to the south side to US Cellular field. WE were going early, Josh wanted to see if they had batting practice. While waiting we ran into some hall of fame guy.
It was finally time to go in and find our seats. It was $1 hot dog and pretzel day, however we didn't stop there, we had to get popcorn and peanuts too. It also appeared as if there was no batting practice.
The game was not going so good for the REd Sox, they eventually lost! Bummer! So we thought we should get going back to Iowa City. We got back on the train and headed back for the car.
Oprah was in the process of kicking off her next season, so she had shut off a very busy part of Michigan Ave. so we were in walking distance of that and went to check it out before we got more coffee and hit the super slab.

GO HAWKS!!!
It was then time for the first football game of the season. The opponent: UNI. This was supposed to be an easy first game for us. Some forgot though that UNI is the best in their division, making it to their championship playoffs many years in the past.
Anyway, my friend Jen joined me at the game and away it went. Oh and Hayden Fry was there.
It was a tough start for the Hawkeyes, they were behind at half time.
they came back and decided to play some football, finally they had the lead. Some breathing room, but UNI wouldn't let up, they came to play. The game came down to the last few seconds. I am sure many have heard, but Iowa won 17-16 on 2 blocked field goal attempts. A game has never ended on 2 blocked field goals. It was a little crazy at the end, but Iowa won. Perhaps they will take a little away from the game.
