On Thursday morning we ventured out of the suburbs to the Dallas Arboretum. It was a perfect autumn day, cool in the shade and warm in the sun. This was my first visit to the arboretum and I was really excited to see all the different areas for wedding ceremonies. I coordinated so many wedding receptions for brides who had their ceremonies at one of these gardens and it was so great to get to see it all.
There must have been thousands of pumpkins. And I could not believe the size of some of them! It was absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad that good friends Amy & Carla had the idea of going. Ava had a blast and she is still talking about the 'pumpkin garden.'
This is one of the pumpkin houses we walked through.
There were also several castles from different fairy tales throughout the park. This one was 'Beauty and the Beast.' The kids enjoyed playing in all of them.

The kids were more excited about the horses than the carriage.

This guy couldn't get enough of the hay again. This photo was taken right after he went for a mouthful as you can tell by the evidence on his chin.
Beautiful view of White Rock Lake. This place is so gorgeous. Now I know why so many get married here.
There were so many open fields for the kids to run and play....and that's what they did!
There may have been some flower picking......
It was a great day with great friends! Keegan passed out just minutes before we left and Ava lasted only a few minutes once we were in the car. I'm so glad we went and I hope to go back in the Spring to see the Spring blooms.
