Personal Narrative: My Peyton Manning

Improved Essays
It was a warm fall day. A grey Dodge minivan was driving along the plains of Nebraska. The destination of the vehicle was Denver, Colorado. More specifically they were going to a Denver Broncos football game between the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders. I was in the vehicle with my Mom, Dad, and some family friends whose names were Martin and Michelle. We were trying not to let the monotonous drive dwell on our spirits as we told jokes, listened to the radio and took the occasional nap. As we approached Denver my excitement was continuing to build. When we finally got to Denver, after what seemed like an eternity, we checked into our hotel and then went to visit some of our other friends. My Mom, Dad and me used to live in Denver so …show more content…

It was the typical continental breakfast which consisted of waffles, cereal, donuts, bacon and eggs and other types of good food. At breakfast we decided that we would get to the game early so that we could experience all of the exciting pregame festivities. I mostly sat around and watched TV until it was time to go to the game. When it was time to go I put on my Peyton Manning jersey. Peyton Manning had always been my favorite football player even though he played for the Colts, but now since he played for my favorite team it was the best of both worlds. We got into the minivan and started on our route to the game. As the stadium got closer and closer my anticipation was going through the roof. When we got to the stadium we walked around and saw some magnificent tailgating buses painted in orange and blue and decorated in Broncos memorabilia. People were dressed in their Broncos attire and ready for the game. When I went into the stadium and saw the field my breath was taken away. I was like a little kid who …show more content…

    but it sure had our family in an uproar. The walk back to the car it was complete silence, which was pretty awkward but once we got into the car we all started talking about the game. Half of us were very happy and the other half was pretty disappointed. Even though there were a few arguments and disagreements we had a lot of fun going to the game as one big family. I think it almost brought us closer as a family because we spent the whole day together.…

    Standing there on the street, I stood staring up to a hundred giant football players walking by me. As I held the rope that the football players walked through, I stretched out my hand to try and high five as many of them as I could. One… two…three…twenty-seven…twenty-eight…twenty-nine! Each one of them pranced by while the drum line marched them on to the beat of the fight song. Standing there looking up at the enormous football players, I avidly wondered what it would be like to walk through this crowd to go play at Highlander Stadium.…
