Lola’s Pumpkin Patch

Y’all...This Weather!! Is it just me, or does it scream everything Fall?!! From the second I woke up this morning I knew that my family was doing something outside, and I wanted it to involve pumpkins! My crew was very on board with this, and they loved my choice of place to go.

This is where I say, “Y’all need to see” Lola’s Pumpkin Patch this fall season! It is located in Melissa, Texas (address below). They have a really nice variety of pumpkins so that everyone in your family will be able to find one they like. My daughter is very selective when it comes to finding the “perfect pumpkin”, and she had so many to choose from here, so she was thrilled!

It is also the perfect size location if you have younger kids. Everything is nicely spaced out, but does not involve a lot of walking. There is even a cute little kid maze, and some animals such as a small pony, donkey, chickens, etc.

Before you leave make sure to check out the Marketplace. In it you will find local crafts, jar foods, soaps, baked goods, etc. And you might even want to grab a shaved ice, or some lunch from one of the food trucks on site.

**Make sure to check their Facebook page before heading out to see if there is any updated information on events or upcoming activities going on that day. An example of this is that there will be the 1st Fall DIY pumpkin class on Sunday October 4th at 1pm. For an additional cost you choose a pumpkin trio or pumpkin mini blocks as your craft. You can do the craft on site, or buy the supplies to do it at home. All information on the class and to register is on their Facebook page.

We really enjoyed being outside, and feeling like we were surrounded by fall here. Everyone we spoke to was so friendly telling us about the animals, and the items in the marketplace. I highly recommend if you are looking for something to do y’all need to go here!

Post Oak Creek - Fossil/Shark Teeth Hunt

Did y'all know that in Sherman Texas (about 30 minutes north of McKinney) there is a great spot to search for old shark teeth and fossils? There were fossils everywhere. Just pick a spot to sit and start scooping up rocks and you are bound to find something interesting! Supposedly the old shark teeth are from 145 million years ago. (Some of our finds) We went with friends, because what better way is there to spend a gorgeous day outside (easily able to social distance), but still so much fun! I mainly took pictures...because hey, it was just beautiful. And because I love taking pictures of people having fun. But everyone else was sifting rocks and enjoying hanging out in the water of the creek looking for shark teeth and cool fossils and rocks. I couldn't believe how many they found!! If you find something different here is a good link to see what it is: http://northtexasfossils.com/sharks.htm Who knew that you could do someth...

Frisco Central Park

Yes, y'all read that right... Central Park . Being from New York the name of this park caught my attention the first time I drove past it. And then a second later I saw all the Longhorn Statues on the front lawn and it went from "I wonder what type of park this is" to "I need to walk around this park!" I am glad I did...I think you might like it too! Obviously, that is why I am telling y'all about it! The first thing I need to tell you is that the park is nowhere near as big as the NYC Central Park. It is actually very small (or as my kids would say, "perfect size"). But there is a lot of beauty in this very small place. Some people even call it a "hidden gem in Frisco". I would agree with that! Location: 3155 Parkwood Blvd, Frisco TX 75034. It is right off of Parkwood. You might not even see it at first because it is surrounded by hotels...but you probably won't miss the big Long...

Prairie Creek Park

Did y'all know that right here in North Texas there is a hidden waterfall? It is tucked inside a wooded greenbelt park that has trails, bridges, and creeks....and it is located right in Richardson Texas. Prairie Creek Park! The history of this park is that it was founded in 1966 and is one of the oldest and most historical parks in Richardson. This area has been preserved to protect nature and wildlife habitats. Beautiful park, and has a waterfall?!! Y’all need to go see this place! And I should mention that the waterfall is so easy to access. It is very close to the street where you can park. And it is pretty easy to find because before you can even see it you will hear it. The sound of strong rushing water seems to echo through the trees. And you can even walk over the top of the fall to get onto the trail! You can go and just see the waterfall but I highly recommend going for the walk through the trails. It is so peace...
