When the Heineman's invited us to join them for a School of Mines football game in Golden, we said YES! The kids were free, we were next to free, the boys love football and we love our boys. It sounded like a match made in heaven.
As heaven would have it, we were delivered a perfect fall day. It was a bright and crisp 65 degrees with blue skies for as far as the eye could see.
We even tailgated with the boys because what would a college football game be without a good 'ol fashion tail gate. The tail gate was so much fun that we decided next time we need more time.
As luck would have it, there were some great boulders for the boys to climb on.
The big boys played football in the parking lot. A perfect tailgating activity.
I also realized long into the afternoon that I had a big smear of goo on my lens. I have NO idea where it came from but I bet it was attached to little boy fingers at one point. So, many of my photos have a not-so-lovely smear in them. (Big Sigh) Oh well!
Mark, Owen, Owen and Oliver with the big M on the hill behind the school. This hill rises high above Golden and many people ask why there is an M and not a G. Now you know, M for Mines. This school is very well known for putting out high caliber engineers.
Cool Dude Kellan with a Capri Sun, YUM!
The scene:
Martin, Hamilton and Heineman vehicles, surrounding our tailgating extravaganza.
Dogs and Brats all around.
Ready to eat!
Cole gives me the BEST eating shots.
This kid is great!

The School of Mines homecoming game against New Mexico.
The School of Mines Ore Diggers score a touchdown and the crowd goes WILD!
They also trot a Donkey down the sidelines for a touch down.
Hee Haw!
The sky was endless and so was the sunshine.
The touchdowns kept a comin'

Oliver, Carrie and Kellan with Owen and Jennie
Kellan should have won an award for the most team spirit. He's so dedicated that he tattooed his belly!
I've been asked, why is Kellan not wearing his shirt. The real answer is that when Jennie and I went to the concession stand, Keith took it off because Kellan said he was too hot. The
other story could be that he wanted to show true team spirit like the college boys who were dressed the same.
All we need is MORE COWBELL!
The band took the field for half time.
Kellan was a hit by all who surrounded him. It's a good thing since he got rather cozy with some people right in front of us.
On our way out of the game, the boys showed their Ore Digger pride one last time.
We had an AWESOME afternoon and the School of Mines won 30-10.
Go Ore Diggers GO!
