Go Broncos?!?

We went to our first Broncos training camp this past Monday. I don't know why it took us so long to go there since my Brother-in-law, Tony, has worked for the broncos for 5+ years now.

We went with Amanda and Loren and their kids. The kids did not have as much fun as we did but it was really cool. Tony got us VIP tickets so we got to sit on the 50 yard line and talked to some players wives and watched some girls try to get the players attention. It was amazing how close you are to them. I am such a bad fan I don't know who is who anymore- I really don't know them if they don't have a jersey with their name on- This reminds me of a time when we went to gymboree and Ebenezer Ekuban (91) was there with his son. His son was adorable and a really great kicker. He punted the ball all the way across the room and he was only 3. Well Ebenezer was talking to me about Mikayla and how she was cute and you know just parent talk, I thought nothing of him being huge. Later another Mother came up to him and started asking him about the Broncos and what not. Good thing my huge football friends, Ryan and Sierra, were there they told me who he was. Or I would have never known how he was. And then another time we saw him Kerri and Tony were coming to see us while I was in labor and they said they just passed him and his wife getting a room in the hospital! I think our boys have the same birthday because they came in the same day and were leaving at the same time as us! I only knew it was him then because he had just had his surgery for his injury and he had a huge cast thing on and was in a wheel chair. So those are my clame to fame and this Monday was almost as cool as those- we were maybe 10 feet away from the players and sometimes they would run into where we were sitting. It was fun! They ran though some plays and exercises. The best part was when the were practicing punting, one guy totally missed catching the ball and Mikayla yells "Open your eyes and catch the ball" It was classic. We don't even watch football that much and we don't yell things like that so I thought it was really funny that she came up with it on her own.

I think we will have to make this an annual thing- and maybe next year we will be able to stay long enough to get autographs! So thanks to Uncle Tony for getting us VIP and thanks to the Broncos for getting us out of the house! And please don't ask me about how they will do this year- How can you tell from one practice?
