Dallas Arboretum

We have had such beautiful fall weather----leaves are really turning orange and gold. My friend Linda and I spent a day at the Arboretum where they were having a Pumpkin Fest. They had a house built out of pumpkins, a hay maze, and pumpkins lining the walkways---sooo many pumpkins. We enjoyed watching all the kids play with the pumpkins and hay---brought back lots of memories. For those of you who haven't been to the Arboretum lately, it is really great.

We had lunch at the Cafe in the DeGoyer House----delicious tea sandwiches, muffins, and soup. The scenery was beautiful---of White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas. Afterwards, we went for a drive around White Rock Lake looking at all the remodeled parks and houses. This was a beautiful area. With both of us being from East Texas (Linda is from Longview and I am from Carthage), we both agreed we are so lucky to have ended up in the Dallas area where there are so many great things to do!!!

We missed this exhibit this year b/c of how bad my back was before delivery. I heard it was beautiful.
