Fall Festival at the Dallas Arboretum

I have not been to the Dallas Arboretum since I was about 12 years old so going this past week was so much fun! When we went when I was younger we usually went during the summer so we could run through these huge frog statues they have squirting water out of their mouths. For the sake of not having a breakdown, we did not show Sam these fun run through fountains this trip. It looked so beautiful all decorated in fall colors including yellow and orange flowers!

They had a section of the park turned in to a "Fall" village where they even had houses you could walk through made of pumpkins! I can't imagine how long it takes them to pull this off. I kept thinking of workers trying to secure the pumpkins on to the house and accidentally dropping one and it crashes and breaks open on the ground. What a mess!

My Grandma, Mom, Uncle and Aunt were able to come also which was fun! I'm really glad we were able to make it before the season ended or before it started getting super chilly.

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween and a Fun Fall! Love, The Hills

Western Days

First of all, I want to say Thank you to everyone that came to watch us play! It was so wonderful to see your faces out there! Hope you all had fun! For those of you that don't know what I am talking about, Lewisville, TX puts on this yearly festival called Western Days where they block off all the streets in downtown Lewisville and have gun shows, bands, lassoing competitions and more. Its a very Texas kind of fun :D This year they even had country singer Pat Green come to our town and perform!

Our family band, The Fiddle Rascals played what we do best, old time fiddlin.

We just started doing 3 part harmony with my mom, Tori and me! I think it sounds pretty cool! Tori always rocks her solos though!

We usually have about 3 fiddlers, but only my Uncle Jimmy could make it this year! It was hard enough for him and then boom, one of his strings broke 10 minutes in to our show. SO we covered him with some singing while my step dad ran home to grab a spare violin! He made it back just in time lol

This was the last time for a while my brother Jimmy will play the bass since he moved to New Mexico. Sean has picked up the bass really quick though! He is a natural! We will miss our Jimmy though. We will be playing for Pirate Days in The Colony on the 15th which is fun because my grandma changed all the words of our songs to "Pirate talk" lol And we play the Pirates of the Carribean theme which is cool. That same night we will be playing at out church social's fall festival which should be fun. Plus I love chili cook offs!
