Dallas Cowboy Stadium

We were so excited to finally make the trip to the "famous" Dallas Cowboy Stadium. We went straight over from the zoo with my brother Kyle and his family. We were wanting to get their early and take it all in. Bailey took a little nap on the drive over which was nice since we had been at the zoo all day and it was a late game. It was so awesome to see the stadium from the freeway. It was huge! It was also cool to see the Ranger baseball stadium which was right across the street. It felt surreal to be outside the Cowboy Stadium and see how big it really is in person. We were all a little giddy :) Parking was on the expensive side, unlike Utah there is no free parking or even "cheap" parking. Since it was all the same price we parked right across the Stadium which was nice. Walking inside those doors, was AMAZING!!! It is the coolest stadium. You walk right in to seeing the giant TV screen. It is massive and crystal clear. The kids could not believe how enourmous it was. We went to our seats took some pics, let it soak in a little and then we walked around the whole stadium. Have I mentioned how unreal it is??!!? They started to open the roof while we were there so we were able to see that and the kids thought that was pretty cool. As you walk around you walk through many glass door areas that have full on bars and resturants. They even had a buffet line with Chefs cutting meats. On one side they even had 3 Ford cars stacked on each side of the portals since they are a sponsor and those cars looked tiny in that stadium. It was by far the coolest experience to get to be there in an NFL stadium. Our seats were asweome too, second level and on the fourth row. We grabbed some food (again a little more on the pricey side but dang good) and headed back to our seats to wait for the game to start. My sister Tammy and her family and my parents arrived shortly after. I had brought out pom-pom hair bands for Bailey and Emmie and Y eye stickers that the boys wore under their eyes. They were all so excited and looked so cute all decked out. We had several other BYU fans from TX ask where we got the stuff and were bummed when we said Utah. The game did not pan out the way we would have liked, in fact we played horrible but having the oppurtunity to be at that stadium was priceless!!! The kids all did so good too. They loved being with their cousins and being at a BYU game together. We should have all felt a lot more worn out considering the fact that we walked for over 5 hours before and then were up til 10:30 at the game. We got out of the parking lot fast and when we got home we all got the kids down and the adults stayed up for a bit sulking over the game :) It was such a fun fun day though! The next morning we headed back to my sister's. Hit Buc-cee's again on the way home and went out that night to Saltgrass Steak house. Yummy! It was sad to know that our trip was ending and that we were flying home the next morning :(

Ranger Stadium was across the street

The TV was HUGE!!!
