Trip to Texas-Part 2

On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we went and looked at some fun things in Arlington, Texas and downtown Dallas. The day was absolutely beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better day in late November.

Ever since Brandon heard of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium being built he has wanted to go and see it. As a result, our first stop on Wednesday was to the Dallas Cowboys stadium. The big screen!
Unfortunately, there was a football game going to be played there the next day so we couldn't get too close. The new Cowboy Stadium is really close to the Ranger's stadium. The next picture is for you Sean! Brandon told me to take one for you!Next, we went to Pioneer Plaza in downtown Dallas. The kids had a great time climbing on the Longhorns and looking for fish in the water. The bronze statues of the animals were amazing. The detail on the statues was incredible. Emmy and Ben weren't quite thrilled when we would put them on top of the animals for a picture.
After a quick lunch, we stopped off at the Dallas temple. The Dallas temple is definitely unique and beautiful. Like any temple, there was a very special spirit about it.
To end the day, I went and saw New Moon with my grandma, Aunt Marsha and cousins. We had such a great time.

The day after Thanksgiving, we went to Aunt Marsha's house to spend some time with her, my cute cousins and grandma. It took awhile for my kids to warm-up, but overall they had such a great time and loved being spoiled.The kids enjoyed the walk that we went on on the Friday after Thanksgiving. They loved all the Christmas decorations that were starting to be put up.We had such a great time in Dallas. A big thanks to Ethel and Richard for letting us come and stay with them!
