Long Live the King!

Last weekend, Ryan and I got to see not one, but two great music legends.....George Strait and Reba McEntire!  That's right, the King AND Queen of country music.  Together with Blake Shelton and Lee Ann Womack, these two kicked of the first of many amazing events to be held at the new Cowboys Stadium.  

Needless to say, Ryan was in heaven just getting to see the new stadium up close.  Most of you probably know what a huge Dallas Cowboys fan he is.....anyone remember his groom's cake?

I grew up listening to George Strait's music...Heather and I spent countless hours two-steppin' around the living room, standing on our dad's toes, to Amarillo By Morning and All My Exes Live in Texas ;)  So when I heard George would be performing in Dallas, I knew we had to go.  I called up the family and we all decided to go together.  Sadly we were missing Amy, who was getting ready to take the LSAT a few days later.  With such a big family, it's almost impossible to find dates that don't conflict with anything, so we were happy to get most of the gang there.

We decided to make a day of it, tailgating in the Rangers' parking lot before the concert.  Ryan made some knock-out burgers and we had a great time.  Here are a few pictures from the concert:

For Reba's encore, she changed into this red number and sang everyone's favorite "Fancy" - loved it!

From here you can see the Rangers Ballpark - Ryan's in heaven

It was a HOT day - so I'm definitely glistening here :)

The massive video screen - it will stretch from one 20 yard line to the other!

Over 60,000 people packed into the stadium to see these legends
