Pumpkin Fun

A couple weeks ago, Cindy and I visited the Dallas Arboretum to see the pumpkin houses that we had heard about. It was so beautiful and fun!

Here are some stats on the arboretum at this time of year, for their Storybook Pumpkin Village:

~150,000 fall flowers in bloom
~40,000 pumpkins!
~The only one of its kind in the world.
~350 varieties of chrysanthemums, salvia, coleus, marigolds, ornamental grasses and impatiens.

Here is Cindy near the main entrance:

It was decorated so fabulously!

Here's me in front of the first pumpkin house. They were so adorable!

I can see how they came up with the number of 40,000 pumpkins - I don't think I have EVER seen that many in one place before!

It smelled great and the sun was shining - a fabulous day for it.

Here's Cindy, trying to find a good location for pictures!

I guess you could even pick out a pumpkin and buy it right there. They must be replenishing their supply often......

These are my favorite shots from the whole day - surrounded by cute pumpkins!

They created a bunch of little scenes near benches that were PERFECT for photos!

And then we HAD to take pictures by this bridge over a little pond.

And as much as it was fall (and I really wanted to wear that sweater), it was pretty hot in the sun. Here's me taking a break in the shade.....
