Denver Trip: Game Day, Baby!!

The night before, we went to a movie (Zombieland is mine and Kenny's new favorite movie), and when we returned to the hotel, there were two Ferrari's and a Bentley sports car parked in front of the hotel! We soon realized that the Denver Broncos were staying in our hotel!! Apparently, they stay at this hotel before every home game.

We rode up the elevator with a couple of them, and Kenny managed to slip in a "Good luck tomorrow, guys!" before we got off the elevator, and they went on up to the Club Level with their Styrofoam boxes of food.

What a great game!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat (when I wasn't standing or jumping up and down) the whole game!

Mira enjoyed the noise and the people watching, as usual. She screamed and clapped throughout the game. She was pretty content the whole time...I had expected she would be ready to go after about 20 minutes. We did go down and walk around for about 10 minutes to escape the blazing sun at one point, but other than that, she was perfectly happy to sit and watch all the goings-on. She went from lap to lap, but no one seemed to mind that! She also enjoyed waving at the fans behind us - they were enthralled!

At one point, Miles (Broncos mascot) came up into the stands beside us, and Mira got on the "Fan Cam" - she was on the Jumbo Tron for about 15 seconds (Kenny held her pretty high in the air)!! How cool is that?? I wished we had thought to record the game...don't know if we made it on t.v. or not, but it would be cool to find out!

At the end of the game, when the score was 10-17 Broncos, some young guys sitting beside us said we would have to bring her to every game now - "She's a good luck charm!" Another lady stopped us as we filed out of the stadium and said Mira entertained her and her husband the whole game - "what a sweetie!" she said.

At that point, Mira had finally conked out. She hung in there until about the last 2 minutes of the game, and then passed out completely!


Ready to go see the Broncos with my Papanui!!!

Let's go Broncos, let's go!! Papanui flashes his insignia to show support.
