Dallas Texas

Rob had been talking about going to Dallas for BYU's first game in the new Cowboy's stadium since he first heard about it. I finally decided lets just go. (I personally would have rather went somewhere else, but I got my trip a few weeks later to Disneyland.)

We started off with a flight to Denver and then from there down to Dallas.

This was Taytem's first time on an airplane and we were kind of nervous. She actually did really well and either slept or just watched TV.

When we finally got to Dallas is was very late. This is Sawyer and Taytem riding the shuttle to get our rental car. Sawyer was so upset that we didn't rent a Camero. We keep trying to explain that we all couldn't fit in one. He's a little obsessed with Transformers.

We stayed at The Gaylord Texan Resort on Lake Grapevine. It was a very nice hotel, with a huge atrium in the center with shops, restaurants and huge fountains. The kids loved to go down and just walk around looking at everything.
Sawyer loved the Steer with huge Texas style horns!



The next morning Rob had us up and ready to head to the stadium 4 hours before, yes I said 4 hours before the game started.

Once we got there we couldn't even get inside until 1 hour before game time, so we sat around in the hot humid sun.

Sawyer played in this fountain to keep COOL. Okay I stuck my feet in too!!

My Dad is the equipment manager for BYU so it fun to see him down on the field during the games. This is after they won, celebrating. My Dad is the on the bottom of the screen with the blue hat and shirt.

The game was so intense, I couldn't sit still. The inside was great, soft padded seats, lots of leg room. It was like a really nice hotel not a stadium. Taytem was so cute, when everyone would stand up and cheer she would too! She would throw her arm up and scream.

The next day we swam and chilled at the hotel. Eating some great food and taking naps.

Sawyer had a blast at the pool, doing all sorts of tricks off the side.

Right next to our hotel was Bass Pro, we went to check it out. It's a lot like Cabella's but with more fishing than hunting.

Taytem loved to talk on the phone, it was low and within reach for her.

We had such a great trip, it was fun to get away and see BYU win a big game.
