I won!

Yesterday Stephen and I went to a contractor's (builders and remodelers) Expo at Coors Field.   The booths were on the club level and breakout groups were on the suite level.  There was free food and drinks and we got to check out some of the latest things in building (really interesting things like windows, faucets, tile and appliances!!!).  They also had prizes, Dinger, the Rockies mascot, Bronco's Cheerleaders and a tour of Coors Field!  Cool!  Stephen, Colby and I left to go on the tour when Terri (Stephen's mom) heard my name called for a prize!  We went down to claim my prize and found out it was a mini kegerator!  Woo hoo!  In a sea of contractors/construction people, 95% men, I was very likely the only person there that doesn't drink beer, and I won the BeerTender!  haha!  It's pretty neat, I just can't find out for sure if it ONLY holds Heineken or if it will work with other 5L kegs.  Like I really care, really.  I just don't think I've won anything before!  Anyway, it looks like this : )


What was more exciting was the tour of Coors Field!  I only had my phone, so the pictures aren't awesome, but it was really neat to go below and check things out.  Heck, I thought it was cool to see the club and suite levels (I'm easily entertained.)  We took an elevator down and saw where the players come in, the players kids' daycare area where the wives can drop off the kids during games, laundry rooms, storage room, tape storage room (yes, the tape has it's own storage room ; ) the away teams' locker room, showers, training room (it was tiny!!  like two tables and two whirlpools), their warm up (indoor) batting cage and the dugout!  There was snow on the infield and on some of the stands.  The sun had set while we were eating dinner so the pics aren't great but here they are!



Taken in the hall where the booths were



Stephen walking through the visitors' locker room.  The tour guide said these were 'bad costco type couches', the Rockies locker room is apparently waaay bigger and wayyy nicer : )
This is the only nicest locker room I've ever been in : )



The little orange cone is home plate, and the pitchers mound is a mound of snow (sad!)  I hate winter!

More snow : (  It doesn't belong in a ballpark, it's just not right.

Kyla was pretty excited about my prize, haha!



She says beer is gross though.  Good.

  1. What an exciting prize to win! I'm sure someone in your house will be able to put it too good use!

    I know this is the wrong blog, but I'm glad you could actually let Colby see his puppies! He is very adorable holding onto Hogan like that! I have another magazine for you, and I haven't seen the big 3 year old in awhile..
