Pumpkin Patch

Posted by Chris Noland in TheNolands on October 31, 2009

The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun this year. We went to a new one north of flower mound in Argyle (basically Lantana) and it had a train. The patch is called Pumpkin express

The pumpkins were pretty good but I have to say the highlight was the train, but I have always liked trains. And no I am not that kind of engineer, but I was trying to think how I could build one of these when I get a bigger piece of land.

Andrew had a lot of fun exploring the patch, jumping in the bounce houses and going through the maze. It was a cool morning and we did not have a lot of time to play around as Andrew had to get to his swim lesson.

I would recommend the place over the “normal” one people go to in Flower Mound off 2499, the kids will LOVE the train and will talk about it for days.

Walking with the Dinosaurs

Posted by Chris Noland in TheNolands on October 25, 2009

On Saturday we went to the “walking with the Dinosaurs” show at AA Center in Dallas. The dinosaurs looked very cool and Andrew seemed to enjoy the event a lot

The show was a bit too short for the amount the tickets were ($50 each), I am glad I did not get the tickets on the floor that were almost $80. The show was about 1.5 hours with a 20 min intermission. Andrew enjoyed it, but he still in not old enough to be all into dinosaurs, am I not really sure when that should be expected. Next time I might just schedule some movie nights with Jurassic Park as the 10 foot screen in HD looks awfully good.
