Fall Festivities

It's been a really long time since I've written a blog post. I've given the blog a make-over, new name and all, and I'm ready to start this up again. Why "Dancing Through Tulips"?  I love tulips and I happen to be half Dutch so I wanted to incorporate that into the name of my blog. And dancing is  more lively than merely walking or strolling. So there you have it!

I just want to talk about my favorite season...Fall! I love that the holidays are just around the corner, I love the colors, the smells, the clothes and the pumpkin EVERYTHING. We don't get much of the fall weather here in Arizona, but that doesn't stop us from doing fall-ish things. Here are some things we've done this season. If you haven't done any of these, you should!


The obligatory trip to the pumpkin patch. Lizzie loved running around and looking at all the pumpkins. Of course, we took a couple home with us.

Instead of carving pumpkins this year, we decided to do something that Lizzie could (sort of) participate in. Painting pumpkins! We had to help her out a little bit but she did alright. I like this kid friendly way of decorating pumpkins and a huge plus is not getting all slimy from pumpkin guts.

                     

 Can you tell which one is Lizzie's? 


A few weeks ago we got to visit family in Utah. On one afternoon, we took a trip up the canyon to have a picnic surrounded by beautiful, colorful leaves. This is definitely something I miss out here in AZ.

Well there's a little peak into how we've enjoyed the fall season. I can't wait until Halloween, Lizzie's costume is adorable! Stay tuned.
