Let's See Some Pumpkins!!!!

It was a beautiful day, perfect for walking around my new favorite place. The Dallas Arboretum.
We were joined by my bestie Sarah and her little girls. (She took some brilliant pictures that I will post as soon as I can hijack them from her camera) :)


Sophie, Lily and Olivia

We have our pumpkins picked out.

I just wish daddy could have been in this one. It would have been a perfect Halloween or Thanksgiving card picture.


Daddy and his boys!!

These pumpkin houses were fabulous! They had 4 or 5 of them all decorated inside. Very cool!

Taking turns riding in Jacks stroller

I LOVE Jacks face in this one...he has the cutest smile!!

These are more pictures on a return trip to the gardens over the weekend.




ROAR!!!!



It's Dinosaur Day :) We had nothing better to do with our afternoon so we went over to a local dino park. It was fun, Max was our guide. Telling us all about the dinosaurs and helping us find our way out of the miles of walking trails.
All the dinosaurs were mixed into the walking trails and everyone of them were animated and roared, spit water and moved their bodies. A few freaked Max out like this T-Rex :)
The trails also had a butterfly garden, and mini zoo. Pretty cool impromptu afternoon.
