Japanese Botanical Gardens

We finally have a nice fall weather (for Texas, that is). On Saturday, we headed out to the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens. The place is surrounded by large trees, flowers, and various themed gardens. It was a great time to go see all the fall foliage and colors. Here are a some pictures of our day at the Japanese Gardens.

There were lots of koi fish in the ponds where you can purchase food pellets and feed them. Well...knowing that fish love bread too; we snuck in some bread. (Alain's idea, of course.) Natalie really enjoyed feeding the fish!

Our little girl is fearless. Here, daddy shows Natalie how to hand feed some fish.

Halloween Night

This Halloween was Natalie's first time to 'trick or treat' around the neighborhood and it was Ryan's first Halloween, too! Natalie was dressed as a 'lady bug' this year and Ryan wore a cute 'skeleton' onesie. Natalie could not wait to go outside and collect candy in her pumpkin bucket! The weather was absolutely perfect. Daddy took Natalie door to door while I pushed Ryan in his stroller. We later met a couple of Natalie's little friends in the neighborhood. She had a good time and got lots of candy. Of course, Mommy and Daddy took most of it out and let her "play" with the others. However, she did have a lollipop as a treat ;-)

My favorite pics! It shows how much they adore each other.

A beautiful day for some family photos at the park

Pumpkin' Patch

We went to our local town Pumpkin Patch this year. It was a windy day, but we were determined to get a few family pictures. Natalie had a good time checking out the pumpkins in the field. She especially loved to push this toy wagon around carrying her pumpkin she picked out.
