Fiesta Bowl







Our BSU Broncos made it to another bowl game, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity this time to go and watch them play. We hit the road to Glendale, Arizona, picking up (or moreso switching cars and adding people) my dad and oldest brother in Twin Falls. Then we stopped in Las Vegas and stayed and played a little. And we picked up my other older brother (he's the one w/ the 10" blue mohawk - that's what vegas mixed w/ bronco football does to you!). I got a chance to see my good friends, Steph & Rhett, while I was in Vegas too (thanks so much for driving in to see me guys!).
Then it was on to Prescott, Arizona, where we stayed w/ my aunt & uncle. We headed to the game in the early afternoon on the 4th, so we could play at "The Biggest Tailgate Party" put on by tostitos. We ate, ran an obstacle course (my dad made it on national tv on that one - Jimmy Johnson even commented on dad's athletics), threw touchdown passes from recliners (Jeremy & Curtis were on tv for that one), kicked field goals, threw the fastest football passes (I put my brothers and Curtis to shame on this one - I was the second best throw out of all the women too!), and mingled w/ all the other fans! About 75% of the crowd was blue & orange! It was soooo cool! I yelled and screamed more than I ever have at a football game...and still surprisingly had a voice the next day! And, in the end, the Broncos were victorious!!! (We had no doubts!!) What an amazing experience!!! Talk about college football at it's finest!!! Even the TCU fans were nice!



On the way back to Vegas, we stopped and checked out the Hoover Dam - pretty amazing! Then we dropped Curtis off at the airport in Vegas to get him home early for work, while the rest of us roadtripped it the rest of the way home. The weather was great! The game was amazing! The experience...nothing could beat it!!!! (Well, except for a national championship...but, we know that probably won't happen!) We can't wait for next season!!!! Go Broncos!!!
