Pumpkins in the Park

Yesterday we made a day of fall fun for the kids (or tried to at least!). We started the day by going to the Turtle Creek Park where they were hosting a small autumn festival called Pumpkins in the Park . It was a deliciously cool day with a nice breeze.


It was a small event, but nice. They had some free activities, such as animal balloons and face/arm painting (airbrush tattoos). They had a hay maze set up for the kids (as evidenced above) which Christian enjoyed. They had a cute pumpkin patch and an area where you could purchase pumpkins in the patch. There was music and two DJ's giving out prizes.

Baby wearing again! Elias was such a good sport :)



Elias liked to sit and take in all the noises and sights around him.

Chewing on some hay :)

With my sweet boys.

Finally a bit of a smile from Baby Boy! He is usually so joyful until the camera gets whipped out.

Christian was captivated by the food trucks, especially the one that had a bubble machine. Ah, the little pleasures in life :)


Christian chose a dolphin as his airbrush tattoo. He is now insisting we not wash that particular arm so he can keep it. We indulged him last night, but I anticipate a fit tonight when he gets his bath!

After the park we went to Uncle Julio's for some Mexican food. Both boys were very well behaved. Elias was content to sit in a high chair with a spoon...until the waiter wanted to take our order, then he developed a bit of stranger anxiety. Then a woman came up to him and was trying to play with him and he wasn't happy with that either. It was funny because every time the woman asked a question about Elias, Christian answered it.

  1. Looks like you're having fun wearing Elias :) And it looks like he really enjoys that carrier! Which one do you use?

    1. ts the Chicco one. I love it. It was pretty cheap when we got it with Christian. I like my Moby Wrap better, but this one is good for more accessability and a quick way to get him in and out. With the Moby Wrap it takes some time! I usually use the Moby when we go on walks.
