But, as everyone knows, cell service is crap at LES and so we couldn't get a hold of them. Things really started picking up so we said screw it and went inside. I ended up sitting in the corner of the Cougar Den with AFCoug7 and his wife. It was pretty warm and dry in there as opposed to the hallways outside. And we weren't the only ones who had the idea, it was packed in there! But we might have creep'd a couple of moms out since we were just chilling by the kids clothes, so I'm sorry about that!

Anyway. Around an hour later I see none other than my cousin and his wife walking around in the store. I got up and, laughing, asked them how they got in without tickets. They said that they were waiting for us by the cougar statue when the storm came in. They waiting for a while but as it got worse and worse they decided to try and find a place a little more out of the storm. So they went and hid under a tree and behind some wall, just outside of the entrance, when a security guard/cop told them they need to come in to take shelter or go to their cars. After explaining to him that they had walked and that they didn't have their tickets he just let them in. So nice job cop guy!

We went out and took some pictures during the down-poor and then ran back to shelter. Shortly there after Taysom and the Cougars were unleashed and the feast upon the longhorns began. All in all, it was a pretty memorable time!
