First Game at the New Stadium


It's been a really busy week, but I wanted to post pictures and thoughts after the first Cowboys game we attended at the new stadium! I love this picture of us out in front of the entrance! The had the doors open on each end as well as the roof. You can kind of see all of the people on each deck walking around. Those people had "party passes" so they didn't have seats...they just walked around on the big decks on each end.

They had a special "unveiling" of the star right before the game started. During warm-ups they had guys standing around a special carpet that was covering the star. Then, all these girls with balloons came out and made formations around the star. It was kind of cool how the pulled of the carpet in all directions to show the star.


This is the view from our seats to the open door on the end. Look at all of the party pass people! I don't think that most of them could see the field, but they could probably see the huge TV screen.


This is a picture of the big screen. They announced when the stadium was at capacity. I think there were over 101,000 people there! It was amazing how big the screen was and how good the picture was!
We had a great time at the game, but were bummed that the Cowboys lost! But, the stadium is VERY COOL!

Adi & Rick

Last weekend, Uncle Rick came to visit! Adi LOVES playing with Rick! She went on lots of walks and got very spoiled. She was so sad to see him go...as were her parents.

Adi

In case you are wondering what Adi has been up to lately, here is an extreme close-up! Most evenings we can be found at home with Adi bringing us her favorite toy to play fetch or tug.
Look how big she is!

Of course, sometimes she will take a time out from playing for a belly rub.

In case you are wondering, yes, Bryan is grimacing as he plays tug with Adi. She is strong!

And here she is enjoying a frozen Kong treat full of peanut butter and treats! We figured out that they last a lot longer if you freeze them the night before you give them to her.
