Fall has kept us plenty busy with new adventures to share with the boys. It has been fun watching them make sense of new surroundings and the vocabulary they pick up as well as things that spark their interest. They are both so curious about everything. We have had a lot of fun. There is no telling what Christmas will be like!
Collin was out of school one day so mom and I took the cousins on an adventure to the Dallas Arboretum. I had heard they had an impressive display of pumpkins. We packed lunches and spent the day together. I love the sweet relationship the boys have with their cousins.
They have TONS of pumpkins to see including "houses" set up based on stories involving pumpkins (ex. Cinderella). It was pretty impressive.
This was the first time the boys have explored pumpkins this year. They kept calling them balls and throwing them but now Parker knows what it is and calls it a pumpkin when he sees one.
They had a small area set up for kids to go in and pet animals.
Two very tired boys on the way home!
We also took the boys to the state fair. We saw cars, animals, part of a dog show, a pumpkin carver, and of course sampled plenty of food.
Fried Frito Pie- it was quite tasty
They had an area set up for kids that was like a farm and took you through the different things involved in working on a farm like watering plants, picking vegetables, milking cows etc. At the end you get "money" to purchase something from the store. The boys were very excited that fruit snacks were an option. Although the boys didn't understand what they were really doing, they had fun with the activities.
