OU-TX Football

Kerry and I went to our 1st ever OU-TX game yesterday....Yes, we went to OU but have never been interested in trying to get tickets and fight the crowd, etc....But when our friends Brooks and Alisa asked us to go, we knew we couldn't turn it down!...We were super excited about going...But it's hard asking someone to watch your kids for an ENTIRE day and night (knowing we would be home super late)...But my super sweet mom (eventhough tired from Mike's chemo treatment in Houston this week), said she would gladly watch them...Thanks mom!...I can always rely on you....

So after Kohen's lovely soccer game at 8:30 yesterday morning, Kerry and I hit the road at 9:15...Brooks gave us great directions and we didn't have any trouble with traffic...We were parked at the Cotton Bowl at 12:00...I made sandwiches so we ate in the car and then headed inside the fair....I've never even been to that fair in my entire life either...So it was an experience...

You can not call on your cell or barely text b/c of soooo many people using their phones...We never got together with Alisa and Brooks before the game...We just walked around and looked at everything and then stood in line for coupons (because they are a mile long) for after the game to use....
We had great seats...We were up high on the first row...We had the pleasure of sitting or standing up when we felt like it...It was awesome and the sun was at our backs which was great...
At one point, in a certain section, you had cards to hold up...I took a picture of the jumbotron...It says "Live STRONG"...You probably can't really make it out...It was pretty awesome...They were trying to raise cancer awareness...28 million people right now have cancer...And, of course, now it really hits home....

Don't you like the girl behind us (haha)...

After we won!!!...Just wanted to snap a picture of the field....

We headed over to the Ferris Wheel after the game...I couldn't believe Kerry actually wanted to ride it...He usually isn't into things like that...BUT since it is so big, he wanted to ride....Pretty neat view from way up there....This is a picture of the stadium...

Kerry hanging on....

We HAD to try to some fair food before we left....We spent $30 on 60 coupons...It was 24 coupons to ride the Ferris Wheel...We spent 19 coupons on a foot long corn dog and water that we split...It was super good...We needed something to get rid of our headaches and tie us over until we got on the road to eat dinner somewhere....We had 10 coupons left and we wanted to try something different---Fried butter, fried beer, fried ice cream, fried margaritas, fried lemonade, fried moon pies, fried frito pies, fried peanut butter jelly and banana sandwiches, etc....But we had our eye set on Fried Cookie Dough and it was 10 coupons---PERFECT!...Well we waited a good 45 mins in line to try it...I can honestly say it wasn't bad at all...But we shared it b/c we knew it would be pretty rich....

We headed back to the car around 8:00 and got on the road...Stopped at On the Border for some dinner and got home at 11:45...We were soooooo exhausted...It felt awesome sleeping in until 10:30 when our little ones came home to greet us...It was a great day and I'm so glad we went...Thanks again to Brooks and Alisa for inviting us:)
