Halloween 2009 Flashback

I ain't 'fraid of no ghost

James was a bee but said "out, out" everytime the costume was on. Also, for my mother-in-law, please ignore the lack of landscaping in front. That is being redone. There is even a sign next to the scarecrow that says Please Excuse Our Mess.

Dallas Zoo pt. 2

Why, yes, I am wearing Mack's backpack.

Dallas Zoo

We went to the Dallas Zoo this past Sat. with Jon's mom, her sister, Dan'l, her daughter-in-law and grandkids and her daughter & granddaughter. Zach, Julie & James were in town, too. Jon & I got a membership & can take a free guest, so if anyone wants to go, let me know! We get discounts for other people, free parking & children under 2 are free.

Jon, Mack, Kay & James & I took the DART out to the zoo, which was fun but in all honesty, it would have been fast for us to drive. One day Dallas will be a cool big city & the trains will be more convenient. For now, we will enjoy our SUV with the (semi) clean interior and safe seating.


Mack petting the Goats.


Checking out the ducks.



Aunt Dan'l bought all the kids a Pony ride. Mack was in the middle of saying, "Weeeeee!"

Rocky Top

My dad is a HUGE Tennessee fan & got Big Mack this UT (the REAL UT) tee.

Sin-a-Man Rolls

Have you ever made The Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls? You should.

State Fair of Corny Dogs

We finally made it to the State Fair of Texas the week before it closed. It was hot. It was crowded. The jogging stroller got a flat tire while Mack was sleeping in it & it made for a very hard time of pushing it. Luckily, Da-Da has since replaced the inner tube. Mack loved the petting zoo & gave many of the animals kisses (yuck!). We got our one corny dog, saw the Tom Landry exhibit, drooled over the new Chevys & then headed home. I think next year will be more fun because Mack will be a bit older & can enjoy it more.
