Dallas Arboretum

My best friend growing up lives here in Dallas and we try to get together with our girls as often as we can. So, today we went to the Dallas Arboretum and it was a beautiful day. The theme was Cinderella where they had different pumpkin houses like the fairy godmother's house, Cinderella's kitchen, and the castle. It was very creative and fun for the kids because they also had a lot of activities to do there.

Dilan climbed up on this hay stack and struck a pose for me! (notice the no-shoes)

The petting zoo - these goats were babies and very cute

Petting every single one - not leaving any of them out

Chilling in the stroller

Now on to pet the bunny

I wasn't sure if Dilan would get her face painted or not. But when I asked her, she wanted to and we went for it. I suggested a butterfly and she chose the color pink. She literally sat there like the lady was doing her makeup for a special event. It was darling and so fun to watch.

And this reaction was priceless of her looking in the mirror.

Onto coloring a picture and gluing cotton balls as clouds on the paper.

The Texas Pioneer part of the Arboretum had a mud hut. Dilan is looking through the window.

A covered wagon with a tepee too - Dilan was scared when we walked into the tepee because of all the "skins" hanging there. I admit it was kind of creepy.

And to top the morning off with a special Kindermusik class outside. Dilan loved it! She's making her bird wings here.
