Our weekend

It has been our "tradition" the past few years to go to Dallas to the State Fair.  This year we decided to do something a little different.  We have a local fair that we attended (fun though it wasn't the same as the day at the State Fair of Texas) and we went to watch ACU play football at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

We drove to Dallas on Saturday afternoon.  My great husband found a Don Pablo's restaurant for our lunch (with a stop at Chick Fil A for Caleb because he doesn't eat Mexican food).  My friend introduced us to Don Pablo's several years ago when we'd meet her to eat and I love to go any time I get a chance.  I love their chips and salsa!  I had chicken enchiladas for my meal.  Yummy!

Then we went to Garden Ridge and looked around, another store I enjoy browsing. 
By then it was time to go to the stadium. Caleb was excited to drive by Six Flags and see the rides and told us we will need to go there some day for a vacation.   My husband told me the stadium was big, but I couldn't have imagined how big. 

We got in and it wasn't too crowded.  They were having three games so the first game was finishing up and we waited for the ACU game to start at 4. As the fans of that game left we found seats pretty close to the field.  We weren't sure we liked it at first but once everyone sat down it was okay.  We enjoyed the game, even though ACU lost!  Caleb liked watching and part of the time he'd draw on his tablet.  He loves drawing and has gotten quite good in our opinion.



We stayed the night and then Sunday went to do a little shopping.  We went to the Bass Pro Shop.  Caleb had fun climbing on all the boats they had on clearance. 
We also went to the Grapevine Mills mall.  It was the busiest I'd ever seen it.  I found some good deals.  While we were there I felt my phone vibrate and had a message about babysitting this week.  It was going to be last week but then the plans changed to this week.  So this week for a few hours I've had a little 3 year old boy with me.  He is so sweet and fun.  He is so curious and wants to know why about everything.

Have a day of blessings!

Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend! I am from Arlington and I couldn't believe how huge the stadium was when we went back home to visit. And yes, Caleb totally needs to go to Six Flags one day; I worked there for three summers when I was in high school and loved every second. And couldn't you spend a few days in Grapevine Mills and Frisco? Glad you had a wonderful weekend!
