Cotton Bowl: Aquarium, ICE, Cupcakes, & Coffee

Today there wasn't much planned until the pizza/autograph party in the evening.  So the kids and I set out to check out the hotel.  It is HUGE!!!  But all the decor provided some good photo opps...

Once Caton was back from practice, we headed to the aquarium.  We were able to get tickets through the Cotton Bowl and booked a car to take us to the mall (where it was held.)  While it wasn't the best aquarium that we have ever been to, it was still really cool.  And the kids loved it!

That evening, we had a pizza party with the team where everyone was given a ball to be autographed.  It was pretty fun!  Caton also got some of the bowl gifts - a pair of Beats wireless headphones, a Beats speaker, and a Fossil watch.  I also received a Michael Kohrs watch!!!

After the party, we went to the ICE exhibit in the hotel.  Our tickets had the VIP package which meant we were wished down the red carpet and got to skip the line of people waiting to enter.

They gave us these parkas...but it was still VERY COLD!!!!  It was really fun though.

These three eskimos loved every minute of it...

In the middle was a slide made of ice.  All the kids had a blast sliding down, but I was only able to catch a pic of Kole...

And just a few pics of the awesome handiwork with the ice.

At the end, out tickets provided us with free hot chocolate and we bought some GiGi's cupcakes to go along with them!!!

We took them back to the hospitality room to eat them.  And after stuffing our faces with sugar, Caton and Kole retired to the massage chair for a pre-sleep massage.

And when we returned from our fun, we found a new Keurig coffeemaker, and lots of coffee goodies!!!
