Field Trip: Arboretum

I have mentioned before that we are apart of a local christian homeschool support group. I get emails every week, if not every day, about fun field trips we can sign up for. And one thing that I really like is that the whole family is welcome! On Tuesday, the kids and I went to the Dallas Arboretum with our group. We have never been there and it is a beautiful place to walk around.

During the Fall they have pumpkins EVERYWHERE throughout the arboretum. Also they have a pumpkin village with houses made out of pumpkins.

Charlie is sitting inside a pumpkin house in this one. This picture kind of remind me of an old school picture where the kids are looking off in the distance smiling (minus the melon of course).The arboretum is definitely the place to go to take pictures. We saw 4 brides getting their bridal pictures done, and a few other photo shoots going on as well. I had it in my head that I would get a great shot of all three. But this was the best I was getting: So I gave up and let them get their faces painted.

They really did have pumpkins everywhere, even floating in some of the water features, which the kids thought was neat.

There was a village set up with cabins and a tee pee and a wagon for the kids to explore.

Emma spent most of the day enjoying the view from right here: Near the end of our day, Spider man started to melt:

It was a fun field trip! It is a great place to take the kids and hopefully we will go back there soon.
