Wet... Orange... Blue...

Today we got wet. Gabe and I. No it wasn't black Friday shopping. We went to the Boise State/ Nevada game. It was a late game, kickoff was at 8:00 PM. Up until Friday the weather had been great. Then Friday; the rain came. Hoping that it would let up before the game was wishful thinking. We layered up from long-johns to sweats under Gabe's jeans we were ready for the weather. We even packed a few dollar store ponchos to (hopefully) keeps us dry. 

Cort picked us up and we met up Dad, Carley, & Michelle. Then we stopped off at Carls Jr. for a quick dinner before the game.  All the time hoping the rain would stop. No luck. We walked over to Bronco Stadium with about an hour to spare. Our seats were in section 125 Row CC. Back in the nosebleed section. this is similar to where we sat for years with my dad where his season tickets were when we were growing up. Then it was time to add the final weather-wear. we donned the dollar store ponchos and blankets. Then we were ready... Kick Off time!

This was Gabe's first real Boise State football game. (He had gone before but that was when we were living on campus at Boise State, so he was less than one year old.) There was a last minute cancellation and so Gabe was able to go with us, he was very happy.

The game was great. But for me the best part was spending time with Gabe. He had asked for a long time to go, so it was a great time for him. I was glad that he got to go. It was great to spend time with my number one son and to teach him a little about Boise State football and experience what I experienced with my dad growing up.  

Go Broncos!
