This is Ben's 3rd year to go to Denver for the Chargers game. In the years past, he has gone with just the guys. This year I got to go (as long as I didn't turn in into a "chick" trip). We invited Brent and Blake to come with us... but Blake's plans were a little different. Due to some amazing events, Blake is now serving his mission in Tampa, Florida! He left Monday morning, we can't wait to hear from him.
Okay, back to our trip... we tried to get a fourth person to come with us, but nobody could do it. So us three headed down to Denver, it was a great drive. We had a great time hanging out with Brent.
Here we are Saturday night at Casa Bonita. My fifth grade memory of this place was a lot cooler than it really was. It's supposed to be like the Mayan. Only one guy dove in the water, twice. But even though the entertainment was a little lame, the food was good, and the sopapillas (I don't know how to spell it and neither does my spell check) were delicious.
My brother, Jed, was on his way to Texas and luckily got to come to the game with us! It was awesome timing, he got to Denver with a few minutes to spare. It was an awesome game, Ben was really happy that the Chargers won, and I was really happy that we didn't get beat up for wearing Chargers stuff. Not that it would really happen with these three big guys. Jed might have been a tad dissappointed, because he's a Broncos fan.
The weather was pretty good, except towards the end it got cold. I also had a steady drip of water landing on my leg the entire game.
On the way home we stopped in Cheyenne to see the Ranch. We lived on the Wyoming Hereford Ranch for 5 wonderful years. I have some of the best memories growing up here, and it was fun to go back.
The only thing I don't miss about Cheyenne of course, is the wind.
Me and Brent... Ben told us to pretend we were playing like we were kids again...but we chose to just stand by the sign.
We also went through Rock Springs and went passed our old house there. We lived in Rock Springs for 5 Wonderful years. We could have made the tour of our old houses in Wyoming complete, but we weren't about to drive all the way up to Casper.

I had no idea that you lived in Cheyenne and lived on the Hereford Ranch. Did you know that we lived there for 5 years. And yes, we don't miss the wind either.
You should go with him every year and come visit me. I'm totally serious!
Awesome, awesome awesome post. I LOVED all of the pictures and yes, Blake did have some amazingly great things happen for him. Happy day:)
Hope you enjoyed Denver as much as I do. It was a good game too!
Looks like you had fun. I am glad Jed made it just in time.
How fun! Those pictures of the ranch brought memories flooding back!! We played so much there!
you're one of those COOL wives who let their husbands do COOL things... don't tell Taylor that you women exist... i like keeping him in the dark!
