Live From New York...Day 3!

Saturday brought another whirlwhind day of adventure! We went to the Fort Worth Stockyards and saw the sights, the shops, and the stampede. Ethan, Sarah, and I also went through a maze which was really fun and also a little challenging!! (The picture of them at the dead end is one of many dead ends that we came too!!)


After a few hours downtown, Uncle Cory, me, and Gramma Dawn took Ethan and Sarah and ventured off to the pumpkin patch. We left Kelli, Rusty, and Bobby on there own in Cowtown to have a little grown up fun!!! After picking out 11 perfect pumpkins, we headed back to Gramma's house for the Annual Pumpkin Carving Event. This is perhaps one of my most favorite events of the year. This year we were bummed because our neices Riley and Reagan (Colleen's girls) were not able to come. But, we managed to meet our kiddo quota with the attendance of The Vaughn 3 plus their parents and we had special guests all the way from Benin, Africa!! Cousins Tori and Timo are in town and joined in the festivities! Our good friends Scott and Kristy also joined in on this year's carve-fest.


The pumpkins turned out great and the kids (big ones and little ones) all had a blast! After all that hard work and the return of the grown ups from Cowtown, we washed the pumpkin guts off and ventured out to La Hacienda Ranch for some good eatin'. Kelli needed to get her Mexican food fix, so off we went. Sarah was pooped and didn't make it through dinner, but a good time was had by all.

Only a few more days with the Johnson Clan....stay tuned for more posts and pics!!
