Finally getting to Thanksgiving... :-)

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!

From Texas Stadium where the Cox Family and Perry were watching the Dallas Cowboys defeat the Seattle Seahawks!!


This is just a sampling of our experience this fine Thanksgiving Day! At least we got some turkey!! Hee hee hee

Now... on to the experience ......


We arrived at the Texas Stadium parking lot a little later than normal this year - about 8:15 am!! And much to our surprise, they were letting us in the parking right then!! There was only one other car in line and I think for a minute John thought we might just have actually gotten there first (and it's some kind of sadistic hope he has), but alas, there was another car in front of us when we got to the gate. But the really exciting news was that we didn't have to wait for 2 hours in line!! This nice man let us in right then and there in exchange for our $30 parking fee! Yes.. $30! We were so excited I took his picture!!

On we went to our parking spot to setup our tailgating tent, table, BBQ, etc. It was a tad on the cool side this morning but not snowing like last year!! Just needed a lite jacket and perhaps a Dallas Cowboy blanket. You can see lots of our pictures in the gallery!! We read the newspaper, played games and chatted. John labored away cooking us all a fabulous lunch of pork poppers and chicken wings. We also had a some pasta salad which was really good as well. Perry baked cookies and brownies which we started enjoying somewhere before 9:00 am!! Reminds of me of Bill Cosby and the chocolate cake. Perry is Great! She feeds us Chocolate cookies/brownies!! Chanted over and over!!

We basically just hung out and had fun. The time went pretty quickly. Stephen found a friend and they threw the football around for awhile while we played games or just simply did some people watching which is always amusing at this sort of event.

After lunch and cleanup, it was time to make our way into the stadium to find our seats and watch the game. We posed for various pictures on the way in.... It's this whole camera thing I have going right now. Pictures all the time!!

We had a fabulous time and I think Perry did as well. The Cowboys won which we were all thankful for on Thanksgiving as it means another day with a Happy Cowboy Fan!!

Cowboys were Victorious!! 34 - 9


We made our way home to watch more Football!! My Texas Longhorns were facing off against our rival Texas A&M!! We stomped them convincingly this year!! Go Horns!
