#10 and a Weekend With Friends

FRIDAY

I mentioned in my last post that this one would be dedicated to my #10 fall favorite which was/is the Fall Festival at Plano. My kids managed to attend three different school festivals last year. I'm not sure how many we'll attend this year, but Plano's was LOADS of fun. You would think by now I would remember to bring loot bag because by end of the night, I am usually carrying an armful of goodies. Karson's friend Emma came with us. Her big sister had a volleyball game at South Warren the same time as the festival so we invited her to come along with us.

The fish pond, face paint, candy wheel, basketball toss, Hillbilly golf, the grand prize game, digging for pirate treasure, you name it, we did it.




The KIDS especially ENJOY getting their hair spray painted. My tub was a variety of shades that night.

SATURDAY

Anyone who has traveled on I-65 around the Cave City area knows all about the giant T-Rex that towers over that area of the interstate. My kids squeal with glee when they see it. Fortunately for us Warren Countians, Dinosaur World has $1 day weekends in September for us locals. Don't even be trying to sneak in because they CARD you.

Isaac has a kindergarten buddy named Tommy that he has grown quite fond of. We invited his family to come along with us on Saturday. His mom Shelly and I went to BGHS together. It was nice getting reacquainted with her.

Isaac and Tommy cheesing in the gift shop.

Tommy has an older sister named Jessica who is in 3rd grade. She and Karson hit it off pretty well and have had some math classes together (Karson is familiar with many of the 3rd graders being in a split class).

Aaawww, Miles and Karson were swallowed by a T-REX!



Digging for fossils is always one of the highlights of DinoWorld.

The playground and giant sandbox also DOES NOT disappoint. I think the kids spent more time here than in the actual park. Saturday was one of the loveliest days on the fall thus far. I'm looking forward to many more of these days (please fall, stick around for a bit).

After Dinosaur World, Matt and I hooked up with some couples that evening for a group date night at O'Charley's. It was a DINOmyte day all around!

SUNDAY

We spent today with Karson's oldest and dearest friend CHASE. He celebrated his 8th birthday. If my computer hadn't crashed on two different occasions, I could've posted some of the cutest baby pictures of these two. We're so thankful for the DeVries family!




Karson was outnumbered by the boys, but you certainly couldn't convince her of that. They played basketball, football, and built a tee pee. I didn't snag a picture of the tee pee but managed to get a couple of shots like the one below. Thankfully the DeVries have a big ol' backyard where all the hooligans can play and carry on.
