Vacation, part III

Thursday might have been the best day...we went and toured the new Cowboy stadium. You really should see this place in person; pictures don't do it justice but I'll give you a little taste. Checking out the water show in the stadium Looking at Rangers ballpark from the stadium Running and playing on the field Looking up at the massive screen from the sideline My football players in the locker room

Not allowed to sit or stand on lockers in men's locker room, but you can in the cheerleaders

We had discussed going to a water park that afternoon but we spent a lot of time at the stadium, then in the pro shop that we really didn't have time. By the way, Darren was thrilled about all the Cowboy stuff we brought home...t-shirts for both the kids; Becca picked out a Cowboy potato head, mini football that talks for Barrett and I got a 3-set bowl of tuppwerware and a clear tumber with straw.

The mother of the boys I watch was so nice to bring summertime activities for me and both of the kids. They got some mini water guns and mini water balloons that I thought I'd bring along. So, that evening, we let the kids have fun; there weren't any whiners or injuries. Actually, the whole week went pretty smoothly. I guess the older ones are to the age where they can problem solve more easily and there was much less fighting this time. Kids playing nicely
