Pumpkin Patch, Zoo and more!

Some catching up to do! Halloween week I took Lucy poodle and her cousin Eli to the Flower Mound pumpkin patch which was so cute! Poor Eli did not want his aunt Brittany taking any more pictures of him and Lucy, but I did manage to snag a picture of him playing. Lucy is getting used to constantly having to pose for photos.



We had a book character day before Halloween at my school. This is me with my partner teacher Mayra. I was the Lion the Witch AND the wardrobe, Mayra was the cheese touch from the Diary of a Whimpy Kid. My class to left were the Kings and Queens of Narnia.
Lucy is testing out her walking legs more and more... she'll take 2 or three steps and then end in a tumble. I'm sure she'll be cruising more confidently in NO time!
Last night we went to the annual zoo fundraiser- the Dallas Zoo To Do. Sam's company made a large contribution to the Zoo so they chose ten employees to attend the event and Sam was one of them! It was fun to pretend to be the Elite of Dallas for a night- we were sitting at the table next to the Mayor of Dallas!
They had lots of animals out of their cages for us to touch and as we walked around we could taste food from all of the finest chefs in Dallas and all the drinks we'd like.

They had a live auction which was fun to watch... (couldn't believe how much money people would pay for some of the items!!) We got into the auction spirit and bid on a San Antonio get away weekend and WON! So sometime in the next year we'll be relaxing at La Cantera Resort in San Antonio with our passes to the Zoo and Caverns!

Where was Lucy during all of this fun you ask?? My friend Mayra watched her for the night and took Lucy to her first Mavs game! Hard to believe that Lucy's first NBA game wasn't with her Daddy- but Mayra reports that Lucy had a great time. All in all- a big night for Swansons.
