Our trip down to Dallas started out at 3:00 am friday morning as we (me, Craig, Andrea and Jeff, and Sara) loaded up and headed down south with Craig as our driver (who was just diagnosed with Bronchitis the day before but a great sport the whole day). First stop was to pick up Craig's brother Matt at the Dallas airport who flew in from Georgia. We arrived just in the nick of time--despite Beatrice (our GPS system) that led us the back way to the airport administration office.
After a big breakfast at Denny's we met up with the rest of the crew (Dave and Debbie, Kristi, Kelsey, and Jamie) at the JFK Memorial. We went on a tour with headphones that detailed the life, presidency, and assassination of JFK. It was a great tour that took about 2 hours but I learned so much about that period in history.From there we headed off to B.B Owen's Park for a game of Frisbee golf which I came out as the winner (although I do play a par 4 since I am a girl).
That evening we went to dinner at Benihana (somewhere you don't go when your with kids)and enjoyed some Japanese cuisine where the food is cooked right in front of you. 
And it was some yummy yummy food!!
We ended the day back at the hotel with a few games of Mafia
(a traditional Basting's favorite).
Saturday morning we again ate breakfast at Denny's which was right across from Six Flags. It has been a long time since I have been on a real rollar coaster (Kiddie Park doesn't count) because of pregnancy and Craig's weak stomach. And these coasters were definately not a dissapointment--there were some crazy twists and turns. Suprisingly the lines were so short that we road the Batman 3 times and Mr. Freeze all in under an hour. All great except it left me feeling pretty nauseous and I did puck up my guts (now I know how Craig feels).
Luckily after taking a break for a while I was able to continue with Superman and The Texas Giant--The world's largest wooden rollar coaster (and ouch ouch it hurt). We ended with the Titan which had the steepest drop and went so fast the my eyes blacked out....twice....I thought something was wrong with me until I found out that everyone else blacked out twice also.
Then the time had come.......

at the new Cowboy's Stadium
and what a game it was.
and what a game it was.
The dilemma: I am mormon and went to BYU for 4 years but then went to OU for nursing school and graduated there. So which team do I go for??
Sorry OU....."True blue through and through"
and Craig.......
"Mormon by Birth, Sooner by Choice"
(funny sign that was at the game)
The BYU fans
The OU fans
Do I really even need to say anything about the game?? The stadium was awesome, we had great seats, the noise and excitement was continuous, and the whole game was intense. Both teams played great defense but at the end it was a Cougar victory 14-13!!! 
(Confession: I was actually just hoping that it would just be a good game and that OU wouldn't just run away with it.)..............but that game was worth every penny!!!!
GO COUGARS!!!
(p.s. thanks Andrea for the pictures)
