Lorna and I took Elanor, Jack, and Bear to the Dallas Arboretum yesterday. The weather was perfect, the pumpkins were pretty and the new Children's Adventure Garden was a hit!

I took my 'big' camera especially so that I could take photos of the kids…

There was face painting for the kids. Jack really got into character!

Elanor was a little less into it.

Bear perched on a mushroom, with help from his mom…

But mostly he watched from the stroller…

Amazingly enough, Lorna and I were ready to go before the kids were. They really enjoyed the interactive exhibits and activities in the adventure garden. Even though it's more than an hour away, we'll go back.
