We took the kids to their first drive-in movie this weekend. Wes and I grew up with a drive-in nearby, so we went lots of times. I was surprised that there aren't too many of them around Dallas. There is one in Ennis that is pretty nice, so we tried it out. It was actually a double feature, but we only stayed for the first movie. We watched Free Birds which is a cartoon about turkeys at the first Thanksgiving. It was an okay movie, and Mia loved the experience. I sat in a chair with Quinn who slept for most of the movie. Mia sat in the back of our Pathfinder with Wes and a big tub of popcorn. I was impressed that she stayed awake for the whole movie. She definitely wants to go again. I think we'll wait until it warms up in the spring even though the Ennis drive-in is open year round. It's getting a little too cool at night. I didn't get a picture of this "first" since it was dark, but I guess I can't document everything.
We went with our friends, the Roberts family, to the Arboretum this weekend. The girls loved all of the pumpkins. Reese, Ryleigh, and Mia were constantly going in three different directions. Reagan and Quinn were thankfully contained in their strollers. It was a beautiful fall day and perfect for visiting the pumpkin village. It's always a fall favorite for us. It was great to catch up with Scott and Holly. We'll have to get together again soon somewhere that's not so packed with people. Plus, it's hard to talk when you're constantly chasing after one kid or another. It was a good time, though, and I'm sure we'll laugh about all of these exhausting outings when the kids are older. For now, we just try to control the chaos and let the kids have fun!

Ryleigh wasn't into making silly faces at that moment.
