Pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere! Fall is absolutely my most favorite season. Seasonal decor comes out in August in my house in anticipation. Going to the Dallas Arboretum is a MUST this time of year. My iPhone pictures do not do justice to the beauty we saw today, but you can get the idea!
My very sweet G has not been getting much blog love lately so this post is dedicated to him. My mom, Griffin and I headed there today for sightseeing and a picnic.
I have to say it felt so strange not having Nolan with us. I have so many fun memories of weekday play dates and trips to the arboretum when he was younger. Unfortunately school now interferes. <<Sigh>>. I told my mom I felt like I was cheating on Nolan by not having him with us. Hopefully we can return with the whole family in tow soon!
Although the entire garden is decorated for Fall, the pumpkin patch area takes the cake! Four pumpkin houses (each representing character’s homes from the Cinderella story), Cinderella’s carriage, a castle, hay maze and thousands of pumpkins complete this area.
Always a tradition at the arboretum is a picnic lunch in our favorite little “secret” place overlooking White Rock Lake. While there are lots of great places to lunch on the lawn, my mom and I stumbled upon a little secluded area several years ago and claim it each time we go. Today we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves! While listening to water falls and distant piano music playing from a garden cafe on the grounds, we ate. Perfection! G’s little Halloween Bear, Eek, even had his own lunch too!
Loaded up and ready to go!
HAPPY FALL YA’LL!!!!!
