A pumpkin & a park...

This past weekend Kyle & I tried to do a bit more exploring of NW Austin. To our surprise, we located a 200 acre park just minutes from our house! I would say we are so lucky, but in all honesty I think the Lord just continues to provide for the desires of our hearts and we sometimes don't even realize it. Needless to say, we were very excited. The park is mostly like a woodsy trail with a few creeks and lots of cactus. Also, icing on the cake- you can have dogs off the leash! We took Deacon & Mercedes and they ran themselves into an exhausted stupor. It was fabulous.

The Park

After the park, we went with our friends Mike & Michelle to pick out a pumpkin at a local church pumpkin patch. Kyle was up to his usual antics- see below:

Thankfully this was not real puke, just a smashed pumpkin!

Little Finley

Mike & Michelle's son Finley got to pick out his first pumpkin. What a cutie! It was a fun time. Next year we're hoping to go to a "real" pumpkin patch, but things have been a bit too rushed this Halloween for us to do any proper research on places to go. After the patch, Deacon & Mercedes got to meet Finley for the first time (Finley's first dog encounter) and it went surprisingly well! Check out their blog if you want to see pics.
