Fall at the Arboretum

This past week the weather has gone from a hot and muggy 90 degrees to a cool and crisp 60 degrees. Fall has arrived! It has been so nice to wear long sleeve shirts again. We went to the Dallas Arboretum this past week with Chris, Nico, and Marlee and had such a picturesque and wonderful time. I love the oranges, reds, and browns of the pumpkins, squashes, trees, and shrubs- BEAUTIFUL!

How many kids can you fit on a stroller? I had brought my single umbrella stroller, in case Bella got tired of walking, but everyone was more interested in riding next to their friends on Chris's double one. It was quite a workout going uphill though.

This was the kids' favorite place- the haystack maze. They spent hours playing follow the leader, throwing hay, jumping, and chasing each other around.

Bella loved getting her picture taken. Unfortunately, Victoria was too fast for me to catch. I've never seen her run so fast. It was really great too, because there was so much free space for them to run. We also were there on a day that not many people came.

Victoria wanted to sit by Nico so badly on the stroller.

Bella was happy to sit by Nico too. (And so the fight over boys begins. However, later, Victoria and Bella fought over who would sit by Marlee.)

Look at the trees and how beautiful this place is!

They had frog statue splash park that the girls enjoyed climbing. Luckily no one got too wet.


Once again, they were off running! Look at the smile on their faces- oh, to be a kid!

And of coarse they were pumpkins everywhere. Bella would pick up a pumpkin and name it. Then hold it like a baby doll and put it down. Then pick up another one and do the same thing. I believe this one is called Sally the Pumpkin.

Tickling my kids to try to get them to smile.

These birds were kind of creepy. They were everywhere, (especially while we were eating food.) Ha, ha, ha! (Trying to laugh wickedly.) I love the Halloween, Fall, and October- my favorite time of the year!

What a wonderful time we had! Thanks friends!!!
