The Zoo!

A couple weeks ago, we packed up our family and headed to Tulsa to go to their zoo. We brought along our friends Jeff and Kayla and made it a day! We got to the zoo at about 11 am and it was empty.....and COLD!!! The zoo could probably use a little updating (there were a lot of exhibits under construction) but we had a lot of fun!

After the zoo, we headed down to the shopping district to eat and browse around. We had lunch at PF Changs and then perused their stores. Shopping while pregnant is depressing though because there's no point in buying anything! We did pick out the sheets and comforter for Peyton's big boy room (which will debut after Christmas).

They had camel rides....I was kind of hoping all of the animals at the zoo would be available to ride.

Halloween!

On Halloween day, we headed down to the Fayetteville Square for some trick-or-treating! The city had closed off the square so that the kids could all safely trick-or-treat with the vendors. It was pretty crowded and you had to stand in long lines to get the candy but it was pretty fun! Peyton was a wee bit overwhelmed with the crowds but I think he enjoyed his first official trick-or-treating experience (last year he had pneumonia).

P.S. He's a train conductor :)

Hay ride!

On Sunday, our "neighborhood" had a little Halloween/Fall party. People brought snacks (we brought cookies - didn't even think to bring cute Halloween themed snacks like other people) and we had a great time getting to chat with everyone. Our neighbor bought hay and put it on the trailer so that we could have a hay ride around our little green area! He hitched the trailer up to his tractor and we all piled in for a hayride! It was so much fun!! Peyton had a blast! P refused to wear his Halloween costume even though his buddy Maddox was all dressed up as Elmo!

He's officially an "Arkansian" now (look at the hay in his mouth!)
