The girls are so excited about their new sister and can’t wait to go to China. It’s precious to hear them talk about all the things they want to show her and teach her. I know that they are still going to be stressed out about the changes our family will be going through as we add a new child. I wanted to have a special day with them doing some big girl stuff and told them it was our special day. We headed over to the Fort Worth Science and History museum to see the IMAX film “Flying Monsters” which was about the first flying dinosaurs. The film was interesting and the special effects were pretty good. After seeing the show we went into the museum to see the new “Wizard of Oz” exhibit. It was very kid friendly and the girls loved it!!! I thought it was adorable.

After seeing the Oz exhibit we went into the Innovations Studio for a little while.

We ended our day by having frozen yogurt with all the tasty toppings. It was a wonderful day before our wild China adventure begins.

My last post was from our visit to the Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Village. They opened up the Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden last year and we were hoping for a nice day to go visit and take some photos for our annual Christmas calendar. There was one beautiful day the first week of December and we got so many great photos it was hard to narrow it down.

Pumpkins at the Dallas Arboretum

Many people have suggested that we go to see the Dallas Arboretum, but my friend Kaye really sold me on it and on getting a membership. We managed to get over there on the last day of the Pumpkin Village at the end of November which was great since we had missed going in the fall. It’s a beautiful place and I am going to let the photos speak for themselves. This first blog post is all the types of pumpkins they had on display.
