So I thought I had a fun activity planned this evening but like so many fantastic ideas this one did not go as well as I pictured in my mind. I receive an email every week updating me on all the fun and exciting happenings in Lubbock each week and I came across a FREE family activity to go view over 500 carved pumpkins and the community center. Well, I wasn't expecting much of a crowd but there were sooo many people I mean hundreds of people. All I wanted was a photo of our family having a great evening out but Christopher was not having it.
Christopher right before the tantrum hit
Christopher does not like to be strapped down and just wanted to run and run, not such a good idea when there are over 500 lit pumpkins with real candles. Christopher running
Bryan and I at least had fun looking at the different carvings on the pumpkins while it lasted; my favorite was a pumpkin with two small pumpkins for eyes that looked like an owl. We wouldn't be in Lubbock if there were not at least a couple Texas Tech logos, only in Texas!
I didn't get our family picture to prove how fun we are...but I am glad we still made the effort to get out and spend some quality time together.

Reading your experience at the pumpkin trail was like reliving our experience at the pumpkin trail. James kept trying to run away and pick up all of the pumpkins. Finally, we got him to settle down and carried him the whole way. Thankfully it turned out alright, but there were a lot of tears at the beginning.
On another note, your picture edits are fabulous.
Did I know that you were in Lubbock? Hmmm...maybe I did and I already told you this?? But I don't remember.
Anyways...my cousins grew up in Lubbock and that is the only place I have been in Tx! They have all moved away except one cousin and her husband-Mhari. I'll have to see if she has some fun things for you to do/see!
The pumpkin carving night sounded fun, even though you had to chase him around all night;)
Mowgli throwing a fit? I don't believe it. Not sweet little Topher! :) Bummed we missed the pumpkins... I'm sure all 7 of our kids would have been delightful! :)
Atleast you made an attempt! He's so cute!
