Yet another Pumpkin Patch- Halls Pumpkin Farm

We went to another pumpkin patch on Sunday with our across the street friends. Jaxon and Audrey had a ton of fun playing in the hay and at the slide. Jaxon was being a little camera shy...

Bye bye butterfly!

Today we went to Grapevine for the 12th Annual Flutterby Butterflies. It was really fun, there were arts and crafts and activities. The reason we went was for the release of butterflies. Three times during the afternoon they held a release of 250 Monarch Butterflies. We got to release our own butterfly to migrate to Mexico.


Picking his pumpkin!


Decorating his new pumpkin.


A sweet moment for Jaxon and Jason while I waited in line for the balloon sword.




The butterfly was too girlie so he had to boy it up with his sword!




Jaxon wasn't so sure about the talking police car

Keller Stew Festival

We went to Keller Town Hall to the Annual Keller Stew Festival on Friday evening. Jaxon bounced in a bounce house, did crafts, shots some hoops, got to see a Fire Truck up close and watched a weird guy do magic! He had a great time and was running from place to place!


Our first stop was to make a Halloween Cat out of a paper bag!

Visiting the Nash Farm Festival in Grapevine

Jaxon and I went to the Nash Farm Festival on Saturday while Jason was in Minnesota. We had a great time even though it had rained all night and was cold and really muddy! There were tractor hay rides- that Jaxon didn't want to go on! He was so excited to see them, but was terrified! There were pony rides too! But Jaxon wouldn't even go near them! So we went to the petting zoo, but by that time I was having my doubts that he would actually go through the gate once it was our turn. He kinda surprised me and we went in the petting zoo and he was so excited and actually petted all the animals and brushed the rabbit with the goat brush! Next we stood in line forever to pick out a pumpkin. Jaxon found the right one for him and was so happy with it that he held it in his lap the whole way home.





Too small!


This is the "one"!


Making the pumpkin even better!
