Picnic at the Dallas Arboretum

Natalie had a great adventure at the Dallas Arboretum with her Dadaji and Aunty Nancy. She got to see the fall pumpkins, have a picnic and play ball.

Natalie's First Halloween

Last weekend, Natalie experienced her first Halloween. She dressed up as a lady bug and went trick or treating with her friend Madison from school. At first, Natalie was very scared - perhaps she thought that we were going to drop her off at the first house. However, once Natalie figured out that all she had to do was go up to each door, say "trick or treat" and hold out her bag to get candy and compliments on her costume, she started running from door to door. Towards the end of the evening, Natalie could barely carry her bag because it was so full of candy, but of course, she wouldn't let anyone else carry it for her. If there was a downside to the whole experience for Natalie, it would be that she'll have to wait until next year to go trick or treating again.
