Fall Break

The kids had so much fun on Fall Break, and I think that was all because Oma came for a visit. Really how much fun is Mom all by herself. Add Oma to the mix and everyone is in for a good time. The kids had lots of fun playing together and visiting different places while Oma was here.

Two of our favorite stops were, the Pumpkin Patch and the Zoo. I really wanted to update my pumpkin patch pictures of the kids, and get some of Decllan as well, so off we went to enjoy the pumpkins and the lovely Texas fall weather. I think the day ended up at about 86, not exactly fall weather but oh well. The kids had lots of fun, checking out the pumpkins and they did sort of ok with taking pictures. I think it was a good think I actually got a really good picture of Bear last year, because this year not so much. Decllan, did pretty well too and he even busted out with his great big Decllan smile. So precious!

Then of course we hit the zoo as well. All summer long the kids kept asking to go to the zoo, and I said we should wait until it was cooler, and oh yea when I was not pregnant. Who really wants to walk around the zoo, when it is overly hot, and you are starting to waddle. I told them we would go on Fall Break so Isa could go as well. It worked out great, we had a wonderful day and lots of fun at the zoo. This time we visited the Dallas Zoo. I had never been so it was a nice change of pace to go somewhere new. The kids of course loved to check out all the animals and wildlife. We did a zoo scavenger photo hunt, and checked everything off on our list. One of my favorite zoo moments was when the kids got a chance to feed the giraffe. Too cool!

Overall our week was great, I got one of my big Christmas projects completed and the kids had a great time. I was glad to be able to spend time with my mom and Isabelle all in the same week.

Love the pictures Al. The Zoo was fun and the elephants,giraffes, and the BIG cats were my favorites! Wish I had taken a video of you dancing like an Egyptian with the kids though!

Love,
Mom
