Kay and Randy, probably our closest friends. Randy and Joe were on the same dorm hall as freshmen at OU. Kay and I met when Kaitlyn and Rainey were in the first grade and we became Girl Scout leaders for their troop until 7th grade.
Cory and his girlfriend. Cory and Randy went to grade school together and Cory lives in Fort Worth. He always plays golf with the men on Friday and goes to dinner with us Friday evening.
Mike and his wife, Jan. He went to OU with Randy, Joe, Cory, and Monty (not pictured). Mike paid for the whole dinner; tab was probably a good $1500. He is so sweet. I didn't get a picture of Monty and his wife Michelle. Monty came without Michelle - she had to fly to Tulsa with one of their daughters for a soccer tournament on Saturday (been there, done that!!). Monty's wife Michelle was the Ruf-Nek Queen when she was at OU. That's the girl that rides out in the Sooner Schooner whenever a touchdown in made.
At the very end the staff bought us out a piece of cheesecake for our anniversary. We all took a couple of bites to cap off the night!
Saturday morning, arriving at the Cotton Bowl for the 11:00 am (booooo) kick-off. Here's Big Tex as seen from a distance.
We met up with Joe's mother, Chris, and his sister, Jennifer at Big Tex. Here's Joe, Jennifer, Chris, and me.
We also met up with Joe's cousin, Lori Peterson and her husband, Jack. Here's me, Jennifer, and Lori.
Here's Chris, me and Jennifer.
Here's Jennifer, Lori, Jack, Joe, and Chris. They are doing the upside down Hook 'em Horns sign. 
This is going into the Cotton Bowl.
Coming out of the Cotton Bowl after OU's disappointing loss. There is a sea of red and orange and everyone stays and drinks beer out here afterward and dances to the bands playing.
I had never noticed these swan paddle boats before. But we were in a part of Fair Park we usually don't go thru.
Leaving the fair. I had to take a picture of the ferris wheel. If I'm not mistaken, it is the largest ferris wheel in the United States or North America or something like that. It is HUGE (taller than the cotton bowl! You can see it from miles away.
