Longhorn Weekend in Dallas

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

We went to the UT vs OU game in Dallas with Lydia this year.  Luckily Mary and Brendan still live very close to the Cotton Bowl.  The Texas State Fair was very entertaining for Lydia and she was very good and didn't run off like usual.  Too bad the Longhorns didn't do well...we were back taking naps by the end of the 4th quarter.  For her first UT game, she did great!  I will have to mention that we didn't actually go into the stadium, but the atmosphere around the stadium and at the Fair was a good introduction to game days for Lydia.  She tried a lot of fried fair food too - corn dogs, cheese steaks, funnel cakes, candy corn and more!

The next day we went to the Dallas Arboretum and they had an amazing pumpkin patch.  We visited there last year when Lydia just started walking.  Now she was running everywhere and getting into everything.
