Fun day off!!

Due to Monday's failed attempts to get to the Dallas World Aquarium, we planned to head there today. Eric was going to get in around 2:30-3:00 this morning from the Brazos Valley trip so we planned to leave around 12:30 for our day out. We got away shortly after that and had a nice lunch at Mama's Daughter's Diner in Lewisville before moving on into Dallas. I've never seen so many people at DWA, the line was around the building but we got to talk and enjoy the plants surrounding the area as we waited. The place was packed so there were some slow times but the animals were in good form as always and Eric and Taylor got to see some things they'd never seen before, there were even a few new exhibits Eriq and I hadn't seen before. Despite being so crowded, it was a good time, we even got to the penguin exhibit just in time for feeding. And if that wasn't enough, we got out of there just before closing and headed out to Herrera's! My favorite Mexican food place, down in Dallas for dinner.
Then we made plans to meet Thomas and Emily at the field and headed to see the Frisco Rough Riders play the Corpus Christi Hooks up in Frisco. The stadium is very nice, although next time I'll have to get in the pool there, how fun would that be! We met Cindy and family, along with Tyler at the game. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves with the good seats, nice field, ballpark snacks (dippin dots, funnel cakes and turkey legs) and a night off with friends. I went with Cindy and Ashley to get a free shirt, yes I won, and then Ash and I went to get stickers when we ran into Heath and Jocelyn. They were sitting just one section over and a few rows up from us so Thomas, Tyler and Heath had a nice chat and Eric and Tay visited briefly with them before all heading back to our own seats. The weather was warm but nice, the game was good, the guys had a good night off and we were still home before midnight! Scheduled days off sure beat rainout nights! Taylor is leaving in the morning so she's got to pack now and they will be off to the airport around 7 and I'm going to work on my scrapbooks for a bit. Tomorrow Eric's parents are driving in and we have a potluck dinner, I need to make cookies.
