Go Broncos!!

Brian and I just got back from a fun and relaxing trip to Denver. We missed the kids while we were gone, but I must say it was nice to get away without them. We left early Saturday morning and arrived in Denver at about 9:30 in the morning. We spent most of the day
shopping and wasting time until we could check into
our hotel at 3:00. We went with our friends Jordan and Jennifer Lamb. It was Jordan's connections that got us our season tickets to the Broncos. We were also able to get a 40% discount at the team store at the stadium, so Brian and Jordan thought they had died and gone to heaven. We spent a few hours at the team store, but we did come away with some pretty cool Bronco gear!
Later that evening we met with Jordan's sister and brother in law for dinner, and then returned to the hotel for a little hot tubbing. We stayed until they kicked us out at 11pm. Since the game was the night game we were able to sleep in on Sunday morning. I can't remember the last time I slept in until 9am. It felt so good! We saw the movie The Guardian, had an early dinner, and then headed to the game. We got there about two hours early so we went all the way down to the first row to watch the players warm up. We were able to get some pretty good pictures of the players, it was pretty neat being so close!

While we were there watching them warm up we noticed that Jenn and I were on the Jumbo tron. So I hurried and grabbed my camera to take a picture and right before I could push the button, we were gone and they were showing someone else. But then a second later we were on it again, so I lifted up my camera into position and before I could get the shot they were showing someone else again! This happend about three or four more times, they were just messing with us! But finally they kept us up long enough for me to snap a picture. So if you look closely and the picture above you can see us on the big screen. It was pretty fun. We laughed about it the rest of the day.
The weather was absolutly perfect, what a beautiful day! It was the night game so we came with sweatshirts, and blankets, hats and gloves, but we didn't need them. It was still 60 degrees when the game ended at 10:00pm. My brother and sister in law were not so lucky at last weeks game. Bryce and Kella got soaked as it rained the whole game. It was the Monday night game to it also was at night. They said it was about 30 degrees and rained the entire time. Poor guys, hopefully they will have better luck at the next game.
And the most important event of the weekend, the Broncos won 13-3!!
We left for the airport at about 5:30am to catch our flight. We got home yesterday morning in time to pick up the kids from school. What a fun trip! I can't wait to go back to Denver in December, but I am pretty sure we won't be so lucky with the weather that time. We will definetly be needing our hats and gloves. Next week we leave for disneyland, and this time we will be taking the kids with us. I can't wait to see their little faces light up and they see all the fun sights in California. Brian and I had such a nice time in Denver just the two of us, it was nice to get away as a couple.
