After a good breakfast, our first stops in Dallas was to the Cowboys’ Stadium and the Texas Rangers’ field.

Both are right there together – very convenient. Thank you, stadium planners! Next on our to-do list was to meet up with our friend Eliel. He’s from our church back in Gilbert, AZ, but is out in Dallas for work for a short while. It was fun to see him and have a little bit of home in Texas.

Our last planned stop for the day was in Frisco, where one of Albert’s friends from Jr. High lives. Michael and his wife Erin have three boys also. The two oldest are around our boys’ ages, so they were all looking forward to spending the afternoon playing.

But the big question was what to play? Basketball, go swimming, ride bikes at the dirt hills? The dirt hills won by one vote. But by the end of the day, we would all wish basketball or swimming had won. You see, while at the dirt hills, Ean had an accident. An ER type accident. If you’d like to know more and don’t mind some bloody pictures, be sure to read EAN’S EPISODE. If blood and raw flesh aren’t your thing, then here’s a quick summary. Ean got a laceration in his leg about 1.5″ in diameter and about 0.5″ deep. Jagged edges. Urgent Care couldn’t help. We went to the Children’s Hospital ER. 8.5 hrs later, Ean had twenty four stitches and crutches. We spent the night in the hospital parking lot. The next day, we went back to the Perry’s home to do some laundry. So kind of them to allow us to wash our stinky stuff 🙂 Then we set off for Oklahoma City.
