What are you most looking forward to this fall?
Looking for some yummy fall recipes? Look no further!
Thanks for putting this together…I’ve been looking for some different activities to do with the kids (if it ever cools off!).
Love this roundup! I’m pinning this to remind me!!!
Sign me up for all of them. 🙂 Well, not all but I will keep this list handy and use it for sure. Thanks so much for sharing.
If you plan to visit The Gentle Zoo just be sure to call first! I drove out there a couple of weeks ago during their business hours and they were closed because their employees had called in.
Great point, Natalie! Thanks for sharing!
Your photo is from Hall’s Pumpkin Farm & Corn Maze in Grapevine!
You are right, Lisa! We visited last fall!
Why is Halls Pumpkin Farm not on the list? That is where the photo is taken?
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for your comment. I wrote an entire post about Hall’s Pumpkin Farm last year (http://thenerdswife.com/2012/10/a-day-at-the-pumpkin-patch-in-dallas.html) and wanted to include some places on this list that I had not already covered. Thanks again!
I will check that out! Thanks!
There is often a metallic band & case in each and extremely model.
During the development life cycle from the Casio G Shock technology, there was 200 experimental prototypes developed for endurance
testing. What really sets the RISEMAN apart and makes it so suited to aviators and high altitude
pursuits is the built altimeter, barometer and thermometer.
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different website and thought I should check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you. Look forward to going over your web page yet again.
Awesome things here. I’m very satisfied to see your post.
Thank you so much and I am having a look ahead to touch you.
Will you please drop me a mail?
