| Aren't my boys cute? |
I know it has been almost a month since the last post, but to be fair I had some some oral surgery done that has had some complications in recovery and I am preparing for my first 5K race coming up next week. I know that a 5K really isn't super far (3.1 miles). However, since I have been dealing with the surgery recovery and had to take off several days, I am really working on getting back to a respectable time.

Before I was laid up for a week, we took off from school and had a fun week. We went to the Pumpkin Patch. It is always a great place to enjoy some of the festivites of Halloween. I know several of my friends do not celebrate Halloween, but we do. I do not think of it as a religious celebration, obviously (unless you want to get into the All Saints argument), but merely as an American custom that doesn't celebrate anything, but kids enjoying fellowship with their friends. I think as long as you are not treating it as a celebration of the WICCA "religion", it is fine to participate. The kids even want to go trick or treating this year instead of going to the church's Fall Festival. They are even excited to pass out candy. It really gives us a chance to speak with the neighbors that we normally are not able to visit with. I think a lot of people miss the witnessing opportunities that Halloween can have.

We made another visit to our new favorite zoo, the Dallas Zoo. It is very large and has wonderful exhibits We finally saw the new Austrailian exhibit. It was neat, but I am not really sure why the have a blue jay on display. A green jay is more rare here so I get that, but I can open my front door and see 5 blue jays at the feeder at any given time. The Kuckaburrow was really cute and we liked being able to get up close to it.
The very next day we went to the Ft Worth zoo. They have added a new mystery show that they put on with the animals. It was the highlight of our trip. The kids really got into it. The kids were getting a little tired from all the walking two days in a row. By the way, a wagon CAN fit in the trunk of my elantra. I wish I would have known that a decade ago!

Probably the absolute most fun thing we did that week was go to a play at the ACT in Lewisville for the Wizard of OZ. For a play put on solely by kids, that all get a part if they want one, the props, costume designs, and the set was amazing, even my 4 year old was still and completely mezmerized for the entire 2 hours. We didn't leave until after 10pm! We go to a lot of their plays and all of them are really good, but this one in particular was completely amazing. If you have an opportunity to see one, I highly suggest you go!
In the near future, we are going to be camping again!
