Dallas - Photos

We arrive and are collected by Paul at the airport

Driven in luxury, our chauffer driven ride for the week

Home for steaks, and those are serious steaks!

Elizabeth and V are straight onto the wine....

The boys crank up the braai

The twins Alex and Jack - and they are starving....

Elizabeth and Paul prepare dinner for us and the kids

Paul cleaning up, gotta frame this ;-)

COWBOYS v REDSKINS

We are off to Arlington stadium to watch our first live NFL game

Come on the Cowboys!

The girls are loving it

Some much needed refreshments during the game

The stadium is phenomenal, how is the size of that screen!

Dallas pushing for victory...

The winning touchdown, a close 7-6 win for the Cowboys - what a great experience!

The cheerleaders are out to celebrate

All over, time to head home

DALLAS ZOO

The boys are all excited to go

Welcome to Dallas zoo

The boys are a bit restless but no problem for Elizabeth and she sorts them out with a quick bottle

Happy days...

No idea what these guys are?

Emelie loves the baby elephant

A triple seater pram, a family day out is no simple matter!

The boys take a nap with dad looking on...

A great day but time to head home...

We love Texas!

FLIGHT OVER DALLAS

Time for a sunset flight over Dallas in this little baby

Tough work, Marlin and I have to push her out of the hangar...

Piece of cake ;-)

Beautiful views of the lakes

We're in trouble now, look who's flying...!

V is pretty relaxed though...

Stunning sunset

Time to land...

That was amazing! Big thanks to Marlin and Paul for organising

I fancy this one for Christmas...

Home for dinner with Mary and Matt joining us with their kids

Tough day...

V bonding with more babies

BASKETBALL TRIALS

Battle between the boys and V

And Benni of course

V using her netball skills, she's a bit of a hustler!

Paul has unfair home advantage!

We all manage to win a game each so everyone's a winner

V and I knock up a lasagna, surprised we remembered how ;-)

Alex and Jack are loving it though so can't be too bad!

Time to relax after another tough day

THANKSGIVING

V, Elizabeth and Emelie start preparing food for the day

The boys organise the more important stuff

Time for another braai, and Elizabeths secret burger recipe is a winner - Great burgers!

Can't beat a Weber braai

Emelie is super excited for lunch

The Heineken is on ice and closeby...

V goes for the works!

Benni decides to crash with us for the night...

Tough life for the guy - we would love to kidnap him though!

Drinks at Hef's stunning apartment looking over Dallas

RUGBY AND THE PARK

Up early to go and watch Ireland v South Africa

Bad lack to start with, we should never had watched in an Irish pub ;-)

Gutted after a bad defeat, time to eat!

The best bagels!

Home to Paul and Elizabeths beautiful house

Time to hit the park with the kids to give Elizabeth a break...

The Dougan clan, James and Paul carrying Ryan and Emelie

We get to the park - even the dogs are friendly in Texas!

The twins having a blast on the swings

Alex is loving it!

Amy, James and I prefer to take it easy...

Not sure who is having more fun ;-)

Emelie and Tommy on hte walk home

Emelie's alter ego, Ferbus the dog

Jack on the prowl...

Getting ready for our last dinner in Dallas

The last of the Heineken as a pre dinner warm up

Time to head out

In style of course, we are gonna miss the Escalade!

Dinner at Houstons with the Dougans, a great steak meal to finish our stay!
