BYU/Oklahoma Game

BYU/Oklahoma Game
On Labor Day weekend David, Cody and I flew down to Dallas to attend the BYU/Oklahoma game at the new Cowboy Stadium. It was a stressful start as I discovered I had forgotten to grab the game tickets from home when we were almost to the airport. Luckily, my mom drove to our house and met us half way or we wouldn't have made it. We arrived at the airport 1/2 hour before our flight was supposed to leave and they weren't going to let us on the plane. The attendant at the gate still had seats left so we managed, but it was not a good start to the day.
When we arrived in Dallas we went straight to our hotel which was a mile from the stadium. When we walked in the lobby, we were met by 50 OU fans all decked out in their Team shirts. We may have been the only BYU fans in that hotel. The Oklahoma fans were very gracious and even after their team lost, in what can only be described as the greatest game ever, they treated us with respect.
Cody had a great time, and David and I enjoyed spending time with him.

























































Six Flags

Six Flags



















On Sunday after the fantastic BYU game we decided to go to Six Flags for our last day. Keep in mind I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was 17, so I was gung ho and excited to ride every roller coaster in the park. Cody couldn't wait to ride the biggest rides and he just went to Lagoon, so he knew he could take it. David knew he could do anything that didn't involve spinning so we decided to stick to the Roller Coasters. They had the biggest, most terrifying roller coasters I have ever seen, but the scariest part was the 1 1/2 hour long wait for each one. We spent 7 hours there and only rode 5 rides. Cody was very disappointed and I discovered that I do NOT have the stomach for them anymore.
