Our son in front of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, which is currently under construction.
its like 35 degrees here and the wind is blowing like crazy!)
The FAREWELL CEREMONY WAS AMAZING!!!!! Fireworks and all the greats! You can read about it here.http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/122108dnmetceremony.82b78b4f.html
its like 35 degrees here and the wind is blowing like crazy!)Well yesterday afternoon I worked half a day and then we left for Dallas at 3:00 pm for the Cowboys/Ravens game. Bruce's father always drives us over, so we don't have to worry about parking. Let me tell you, the cold front hit Wichita Falls about 2:45 and it hit Dallas around 5:30.
It was COLD!
As we were walking to the stadium a policeman and another man told me that I couldn't take my camera into the stadium! They said it was TOO BIG. (They didn't even see my Super Telephoto lens yet either.) So I had to leave it my father in laws car. Well, telling a photographer she cant have her camera is a hard thing to hear. Espically knowing that the Farewell ceremony was going to have a lot of the great legends there, former Dallas Cowboy Hall of Famers. But i didnt want to take a chance. You see my husband is from IRVING. He is a huge Fan and he even graduated high school on that field. I wanted photos for him to keep and for our son to always have too.
But I respected the law, but then what really bugged me was when I got in, and past the metal detectors and the searches, etc. I saw people with professional SLRS like mine. When I asked a few of them, how they managed to do that, they said that the employees didn't search their back packs.
Well, that was annoying, but Id rather be safe than sorry. (back in my reporter days, I smuggled my camera and telephoto lens into all sorts of events where no cameras were allowed. Like concerts and all sorts of places. Thats why my photos landed on the front page so many times!)

So of course i was bummed when all the great Dallas Cowboys came out on the field for the Farewell ceremony. (Which was fabulous by the way!) Fireworks, speeches from Roger Staubach, Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett, Too Tall Jones, Jerry Jones, and dozens of famous former Dallas Cowboys! Also I saw my favorite actor, OWEN WILSON on the sidelines. (This photo of him was taken from the Dallas Morning news web site.)
It was an awesome game, but too bad we lost at the end. That would of been the icing on the cake to win!
It was a great night, except for the cold. We wore turtlenecks and jerseys and our coats, I wish I would of had my gloves too. It was so cold, I had to take my earrings out of my ears, because they were frozen and were making my ears hurt! ha ha.

Today we went by to see how the new Stadium is looking lately. (I saw it back in March) and its going to be great a great State-of-the-Art Stadium, with a 60 yard jumbotron and all the coolest details!
Then we went to the mall and of course my son and husband had to go to HOOTERS for buffalo wings. We got some more Christmas shopping done and had a great weekend. Now I'm working hard on the last minute orders for Christmas.
Hope you all had a good weekend! TO READ ABOUT THE FAREWELL CEREMONY GO HERE!
