After taking the girls to the water park over the summer, Nathan and I started talking about taking them to Six Flags. We looked into ticket prices and they were nuts. Then we saw the Labor Day sale on season passes. We're not going to renew our zoo membership this year because we only have so much time to go do things. We'll see how it goes and re-evaluate next September. We did our first Six Flags visit at the beginning of the month. There were a few tears, we had to force the girls on a few rides, we learned a little about which lines to avoid....but overall it was a fun day. We mostly hung out in Loony Tune land, but that was the plan. Here's just few pictures I took with my phone.
The city of Plano had a Family Safety event one weekend. It was free and the weather was nice so we decided to check it out. We had fun and will go back next year if they do it again.

My mom and I started talking about and planning Halloween costumes over the summer. We often like to DIY and we wanted to give ourselves plenty of time. We saw this adorable idea on Pinterest http://www.thehairbowcompany.com/minion-costume.html and decided to copy. Then because Nathan and I also enjoy dressing up we decided to go with the Despicable Me theme. Nathan's aunt graciously agreed to make Nathan a scarf and I set about finding pieces for my costume. Thank you Amazon for the orange wig and sunglasses. Then I found the dress on sale at NY&Co. It's so cute I have worn it alone as just a dress. =)
minions are silly
Even Hannah's doll got a costume
We tried to hit as many Fall Festivals as we could so we could get lots of use out of the costumes. We managed 3 this year and then I took the girls around the block last tonight while Nathan is at BSF.
We also took the girls to the Arboretum for pictures in the pumpkins. We were disappointed that they only had pumpkins in the designated Pumpkin Village and not everywhere in the park like in years past. But we still had a fun.

We like minions, but since they seek an evil master we're phasing them out.
Raised two girls. Recommend skipping the expensive theme parks and vacations for simple fun like weekend car trips to lake or park.
