TX/OU Weekend!
The Le Family took off of work for the Red River Shootout and Fayte was able to enjoy her first Texas State Fair. Uncle Mark even came in from Afghanistan to enjoy the traditional deep fried Texas fare. Last year's strangest food was deep fried coca cola. This year it was a whole slew of dishes including deep fried cookie dough, fried latte, fried peach cobbler on a stick and fried guacamole to go along with traditional favorites like fried cheesecake and fried snickers. All were good, but nothing beats the original State Fair Fletcher's Corn Dogs, which Fayte scarfed down like Hot Dog Eating Champ Kobyashi.
Other than the Texas loss in a very good close game, it was a great weekend. We can't wait to enjoy said corn dogs again next year! Here's Fayte showing her support for the Horns. "Texas! Texas! YEE HAW!"
Fayte and Big Tex
Sailing the high seas
These are soooooooo good.
Fayte agrees. We had to snap this shot QUICKLY.
The best way to enjoy cookie dough? Deep fried of course!
Prison gang? Fayte shows off her new Dora tattoo with Dad and Uncle Mark
"I can't wait to enjoy your roasted leg later today."
Mom and Fayte look down on the poor Sooner fans below.
If you look closely, you can see foam on the Le Ladies' legs. The FUNHOUSE was just that CRAZY.
Fayte and friend (Uncle Mark won her) enjoy the view of the Cotton Bowl from the GIANT Texas Star Ferris Wheel.
Normally, Fayte and company will not go to a baseball game unless the teams playing are in pinstripes or burnt orange, but Team Le made an exception when Uncle Schwartz scored some amazing tickets to the Texas Rangers vs. Detroit Tigers game. The seats were right above the Detroit dugout where we had a great view of the mascot and the live dot race! Hey, when you watch the worst team in baseball, you gotta focus on the good things!
Fayte took this picture of herself
Guess who she's pointing to?
It was that stupid horse that she couldn't get enough of! Looks like the fellahs from the glue factory showed up.
A Le Family favorite, Ex-Yankee Gary Sheffield.
Speaking of "Sheff" the Chicago-style Hot Dogs at the stadium were AMAZING
Though Uncle Schwartz claims that his Jumbo Chili Dog with grilled onions was the best dog he'd ever had. Judging by sight, what do you think?
No trip to the Bronx this year. Instead, the Bombers came to us here in Dallas to SWEEP the Texas Rangers. With so many Yankee fans on hand, it really felt like a home game anyway. Fayte had a blast. Her favorite part of the game was hands down the ballpark fare, with the music being a distant second. Because of a rainout the day before, we were treated to a doubleheader and Dad's NY Yankees beat reporter friend tipped him off in the morning about batting practice. As a result, the fam was able to get up close and personal with some of the players including probably one of the nicest guys in baseball, Johnny Damon. Though it doesn't compare to Yankee Stadium's history and mystique, The Ballpark in Arlington was very nice in that it is a lot newer so it offered many of the great amenities found in the modern parks. It offered lots of food selection, many picnic areas and actual restaurants/bars, a miniature baseball field for the little tots in the outfield and a great view from virtually any seat. Everything is bigger in Texas and that holds true at The Ballpark. The jumbo hot dogs were truly Texas sized. Sorry, no photos of said dogs, but plenty of photos of our lil' Yankee fan!
The three (Bronx) Bears
Pregame meal in honor of "Louisiana Lightning" Ron Guidry. Beleive it or not, those aren't lobsters. They're GIANT (tasty) crawfish!
"We're going to see Jeter!"
Making sure the cap fits just right.
Captain Jeter chunks up the deuce to us during batting practice!
"Jeter waved at me!"
Derek Jeter tosses a ball at us. The girl in front of us dropped it and then some Dallas bozo stole it on the second attempt!
Fayte and fellow Jeter-ette Carly
Fayte waits her turn to bat. A future Cat Osterman in the making.
Fayte and Mommy watch the greatest closer of all time, Mariano Rivera, in the pen!
Mariano's sick cutter! It was amazing seeing his stuff this close! Even Mommy was impressed.
Enjoying some nachos in between the first and second game. What's better than ballpark nachos?
Perhaps some cotton candy and kettle corn! Now, let's see the action...
Another shot of the Captain
A-Rod on base. TX fans hate him. Probably because they're still paying most of his salary only to have him come to Texas to beat them every year.
