We kicked off the fall season by taking family fall photos. The first cool weathered weekend, we headed to the neighborhood park. I suckered my friend, Crystal, into taking our pictures. They turned out nice! The pictures on the bridge were taken right by the park, over Metzler Creek. These are some of my favorites.

Another weekend in October we joined Papa Mike and Gigi in Montgomery for a Texas heritage festival. There were volunteers dressed like they lived in the 1800s and there were a lot of demonstrations of how the settlers lived. There were several activities and history lessons for the kids. Arden learned how to use a washboard, Halle learned how lye soap was made, and Jack played a few old fashioned games. He was also very intrigued by the longhorn cow.

| They got to contribute to the building of this statue; it's going to be put on display in the historical district. The kids contributed by adding a piece of clay to her dress. Their names will be added to the statue. How neat is that?! |

| I turned the pumpkin into a cream cheese pumpkin bread. I'd never made this recipe before and it was oh, so good.... |
I love your pictures! And that one of Jack with his hands in his pockets...how precious.
