Jilly's First Cowboys Game

Over the weekend, we took Jilly to her first Cowboys game! 

We drove up to Dallas the night before and stayed in a hotel.  Because Jilly slept in the car, and because clearly she was too excited to sleep, we had a rough night.  But after sleeping in a little and a quick breakfast with friends, we were ready to go to Jerry World!

Julian and I were a little nervous about how she would do at the game.  There were going to be a lot of people and it was going to be really noisy!  But I am happy to say that our baby girl was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT...even when her crazy mommy was jumping up and down when the Cowboys scored!

We sat in section 454, which was pretty high up, but to be honest, there is not a bad seat in Cowboys Stadium.  I think this was a great place for us to sit beacuse it was not too loud up there and not too crazy so we got to sit and watch the game.  Jilly spent most of her time people watching and I am pretty sure was clueless about the fact that you were supposed to watch the field. =)

Even though we were high up, we still had a great view of the field.  Here is a shot that we took with our camera of the offense driving down the field.  We were super impressed with the zoom on our camera because we got some great shots of the field, the players...and Julian was able to zoom really close on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders too! =)

We also took some time to walk around the stadium so that we could enjoy the full experience.  We stopped and looked at various exhibits in the stadium, hung out in the Party Pass area, and went to the Pro Shops.  Here is a cute photo of our little Cowboys girl with a fun helmet on...

...and of course, her handsome Daddy!!!

Despite all the noise, Jillian took a nap during the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th.  And thank goodness for that because she missed the Lions rallying back to take the game.  I am convinced that she fell asleep on purpose so that she would not have to bear witness to the Cowboys second half collapse...sigh!!!

After the game, we made our way to the elevator and exit that the players use after the game.  We learned about this spot at the last Cowboys game we went to with our family.  So we waited around and figured that players would not be able to resist this little face!

Considering the Cowboys lost, the players were not in great moods so we really only got to wave at them and shout there names. I took a few pics, but they were not of smiling faces so I will not put them on the blog.  But we got to see Miles Austin, Mike Jenkins, Jon Kitna, Keith Brookings, Anthony Spencer, and a few others.  And the last player we saw was Tony Romo.  Poor guy, he had it written all over his face that he was clearly disappointed by his own performance.  My empathy kicked in and all I wanted to do was give him a hug!

Despite the loss, we had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed this road trip as a family.  Jillian was an angel and we know that we can take our baby girl anywhere now.  We will never forget all the memories we had in taking our baby girl to her first Cowboys game!
