October 11, 2009 - For my birthday, Tristan and the kids took me out to Red Robin for dinner, and they had a coloring contest there. The kids colored a sheet and I didn't think anything about it again until I got a call from the Denver Broncos saying that Trister had won! His prize was 2 side-line passes to the Broncos/ Patriots game, 2 extra tickets, a Broncos jersey, and he got to run onto the field after kick-offs to retrieve the tee! Tris is such a sweet boy, he's usually just doing his own thing, being quiet and good, never really in the lime-light, so I was really excited that he was able to have a big deal made about him for once. He and his Dad went up to the game with his uncle Tyler and cousin Griffin, and had a great time. The Broncos jerseys were yellow for this games because it was some kind of anniversary for the NFL or something, so the teams wore old throw-back jerseys.
Look how close they are to the field! They got to stand right along with the reporters and photographers, just a few feet from the team.

Here's Tris, running out to get the tee.Here's a clip of him doing the mile high salute and running back off the field with the tee. The guy standing on the sidelines works for the Broncos and was coaching Tris on what to do.
It was really cold that day, so the 2 Tristans stood by the large outdoor space heaters occasionally to warm up. Apparently, Trister got a little too close to the heater, because his jersey got a hole melted right into it! He wasn't hurt - he didn't even realize what had happened until his Dad told him! The Broncos are sending him a new one in the mail.
