Boise State Broncos...Here we come!

For Kenny's birthday I surprised him with tickets to the Boise State Broncos game. He's always wanted to go and watch them play on their smurf turf. My options were limited when I chose the game. It was either between USU or Hawaii...but then I found out Hawaii was sold out. So my choice was easy:) And, what's ironic is Kenny is going to school for his Master's at USU.
We both worked all day Friday and then drove up to Boise...I guess I forgot how long 5 hours felt in the car. But we made the most of it. I hooked my iphone up to the aux in the car for sound and then I placed it on the dash and watched a movie on the way up...after charting for work of course. We stopped at Maddox's and had a fabulous dinner, they make the best rolls! I pretty much filled up on rolls:)
We got into Boise really late and stayed at the Grove Hotel, it was really nice and right in the heart of downtown. That made it fun, there were xmas lights on and everything. We took a hot-tub that night and then passed out!

We slept in and hit up a great breakfast place that had HUGE pancakes. We filled ourselves up so bad we weren't hungry until dinner. But it was so fun.
Everyone eating breakfast had some sort of BSU paraphernalia on...all getting ready for the game! It was fun walking around downtown Boise, there was even a small street fair going on even though it was snowing! If we had more time we would have looked at it, but we had to get to the game:)It was so cold that day, we bundled up in almost everything we had! We hopped on the local trolley car that took us to the game. I thought there was lots of blue/orange at the diner, but the trolley was packed full of people sporting the colors!
Wait a minute...I was completely blown away by the amount of fans tailgating. Maybe I just haven't been to enough games in my lifetime, regardless, it was so fun to see the fans.
Kenny's dream machine:
They had the complete hook up, they brought heaters, satellites, and huge tv's to watch the game. There was so much good food being cooked, it was really fun to walk through.
We finally made our way to our seats and saw the smurf turf for the first time in person!
What a cool sight. They were all in blue uniforms and Kenny informed me this is because it makes it difficult for the other team to see them as they blend in with the field. Go smurf turf and blue uniforms!!
It stopped snowing after we sat down, so that was nice. It stayed pretty cold, but we warmed ourselves up by cheering.
And another Bronco...touchdown!!

So fun! Kenny got special access to the field...not really, but we got a picture anyways:)
We both had such a wonderful trip. We went out to dinner that night and to breakfast the next morning at a fabulous place, Goldies. It was a really long wait, but I think it was worth it! Then we headed back home to our regular lives. I am so glad we were able to make this trip work out, it was so fun. Love you Kenny!
