Team Practice

Our day started with the free breakfast at the hotel where all the family members of the players - at least the ones staying at this location - met to discuss plans for the day. The group is a happy one, as you can imagine:

Following our breakfast, the men all piled into a couple vans to go to the team practice session at the stadium while the girls all went shopping. The stadium is spectacular - of course, the Dallas Cowboys play here - and the practice was really fun to watch. I took many shots of the practice before I was informed that photos where not allowed - obviously, nobody knows that I am not a Wisconsin spy! These first few shots are of the stadium:

 and this one, of the stadium store, which is HUGE:

It was easy for me to save money there, as I am not a Cowboys fan.

Then, there are a couple of the photos I took of Austin while practicing:

and this final shot - a legal one - of the two of us following the practice session:

We all met back at the hotel and went to a nice sports bar down the street - The Rock - where we had a great dinner to end the day:

Today's schedule includes another trip to the stadium - for a tour - a trip to the Stockyards (more on that tomorrow) and a dinner tonight with Austin at his hotel. We will also celebrate Austin's birthday (which is tomorrow) at dinner.

What a fun trip so far...
