Our last two home games were held on Nov 10th and Nov 24th and boy were they different! We noted that the Nov 10th game coincided with pheasant opener in Colorado. So, we decided to make a weekend of it!
Our family and Jim and Sarah decided to grab a hotel up in Fort Collins for the weeekend. We arrived to the hotel on Friday night with a Papa Murphys Pizza and hopes of rooms next door to each other. We got settled in our rooms, ate and got the kids ready for bed. We thought we were incredibly smart bringing a baby monitor to the hotel. Since our rooms were next door to each other... we would put one part in each hotel room. After we layed the boys down, we headed to Jim's room. Amy listenend to the monitor smiling. She heard Karsten cry... then Kasey say "no, Karsten. Don't cry. We need to go to sleep". It was so cute! Until... the next thing she heard was a deep male voice. Amy threw the receiver down and ran out of the room towards our room. Standing outside was a nice young man asking Kasey "Well, where is your mommy?" Evidently, we didn't bank on the fact that the kids would be able to open the door to head outside to go find us! Whoops! Thank God we heard it happening and were able to react so quickly!
Jim, Sarah and Kris were planning on searching for pheasants on Sat and Sun morning; which left Amy and the boys in the hotel for a fun morning swim! Rosemary and Amy decided since they meet for coffee every Saturday, that this would be no different. Rosemary grabbed some beloved lattes and headed to the hotel with her beautiful girls to enjoy breakfast and the pool. The kids had a blast as you can tell!

The hunting crew got back after enjoying their morning walk and showered up for tailgating. We got the cars loaded and headed to the stadium. The closer we got... the colder and snowier it was. By the time we arrived at the stadium we took a vote and all decided to tailgate from our hotel room (and swim!) and return for the game closer to 5pm. It was one of our most unusual tailgates, but I think had one of the highest attendance factors of the season. Evidently, when you throw a pool into the mix during tailgating... there is no passing up that opportunity!

| Step 2 - Huddle together |
The last game of the season was right after Thanksgiving and we were All Thankful that the weather was so nice! We all bundled up and at one point were down to T-shirts... that is before going back to our winter coats and hats for the 5pm game. Amy was not happy with the 5pm games this year, but we have already heard a rumor of earlier game times in 2013! (YAY!)

This game was a close one, but the Rammies were able to pull out a Big "W" for the win! That left the Rams with a 4-8 overall record for the year. Not the best, but we were pretty proud of our team this year! Amy was just excited they beat CU this season and are in hopes of a rematch with NDSU in the near future!
