Tot Tuesday

We ventured out to the Dallas Arboretum again yesterday and had a great time. There were 5 adults, 6 kids, 4 strollers, 2 slings and many, many pumpkins! Get ready for lots of pics because there were so many good photo opportunities. We had a picnic lunch under the trees right when we got there. After that, the fun began.

Jackson and Madison have full bellies and aren't really feeling all that much like posing yet. Look at Mr. Mischievious's expression. I think this was after we asked him to hold his cousin's hand.

Thank goodness "Nanny Hayley" came along to the park with us! She was such a big help and very instrumental in a successful day. She's fixing Jackson's hair in this pic.

It amazes me that it's easier to get a 6 month old to look at the camera and smile than it is a 20 month old! Maybe she's just a natural:)

The three oldest...Judah, Jackson and Presley. They had a lot of fun running around in the hay maze.

Now he's ready. Jackson actually ran over to these pumpkins, sat down, turned around and smiled at the camera! Wow! Such progress.

The big kids--next to impossible to get all of them to sit and smile. This was the best shot I got.

Loving sitting on this big ol' pumpkin.

There was also a petting zoo and Jackson loved it. He ran around pointing at the goats and saying "goat" as he touched them all. At one point I was afraid he was going to pull the donkey's tail...but thank goodness that did not happen!

One last picture before we left. Once again, this was totally J's idea.

Good shot, Jackson!

We had a lot of fun with the Pointers, Martinez's and Miss Hayley and can't wait to go back next year. Maybe we'll do the face painting then. Somehow, I just can't quite see Jackson sitting still long enough for that!
