Photos from Our Weekend

I would say that this weekend was one of the nicest we’ve had since we moved to Austin. The weather was nice, a little warm, but not too hot. We went to get pumpkins, went to the Wells Branch Renaissance Festival and generally hung out together. Here are a few photos to give you a peek.

Saturday morning we went to the Red Barn nursery to get pumpkins. We had heard that it was a great photo op. But we weren’t too thrilled. We did take a few pictures, but none of their $10-12 pumpkins

Later that afternoon we walked down through the park to go to the Renaissance Festival that was being held at Katherine Fleischer park. On the way:

Wesley loves this digger. Unfortunately it is pretty beat up and he has some trouble getting it to work. Teamwork payed off though.

When we got there we were underwhelmed. Only a few tents and not much going on to speak of. Not even any music. And nary a dragon to be found.

So we went to play at the playground. We played on the swings, the slides, and the playhouse. And of course in the big tube:

As we left the park Wesley and I could resist a good roll down the hill to the soccer field. By the end I was a bit queasy and Wesley still wanted “more, more, more!”:

On the way home we stopped at the bench swings to take some photos:

Amber wasn’t happy with the photo setup at the Red Barn Nursery. Frankly, neither was I and I’m not nearly as picky. There were stickers on the pumpkins and junk in the background. We took a few photos, but Amber needed more. She had a vision and it needed to be realized. So, we now have a pumpkin photo studio in our backyard complete with bales of hay and a bunch of pumpkins. I love her little obsessions so much.

Pumpkins arriving home from the HEB (half as much as at Red Barn, but three times as many):

Wesley helped transport the pumpkins from the garage to the backyard. I guess we need a wagon.

He also helped me moved the hay bales and insisted on adjusting the pumpkins to make it look just so.
