Dallas Cowboy Training Camp

Michael's football team had the opportunity to see the Dallas Cowboys training camp. They have been training here in San Antonio at the Alamo Stadium. It was a pretty neat experience to see how they conduct a practice. We are NOT Cowboy fans, so it wasn't that exciting to us, but it is a neat experience to see how the big guys practice and to see the drills they run. Robert enjoyed explaining to Michael the drills and pointing out what they were doing. Rowdy, the team mascot was signing autographs and Michael was so close to getting one. But, you know they are on a tight schedule so he missed out. He was pretty bummed. It made it all better when we were leaving and he was able to take a Marine Challenge. He had to hang on this bar in pull up position. He hung there for 35 seconds. I guess 30 seconds is a minimal standard for something in the Marines(?) The kid before Michael was able to hang there for 75 seconds. Michael enjoyed showing off. And he was able to pick a prize. He chose a dog tag.
