"Farmer Duck Tour" at Heritage Farmstead in Plano. The boys got to wash clothes and dishes by hand, beat a rug, grind corn for the chickens, and take a covered wagon ride.
"Autumn at the Dallas Arboretum." The grounds were lined with hundreds of pumpkins including several pumpkin houses for the kids to walk through. 
Fire station tour at Frisco Fire Safety Town. The tour guide talked with the students about fire safety and how to communicate with a dispatcher. They even got to try on a coat and boots!
Homeschool Day at the Fort Worth Zoo. We spent an entire day looking at the animals and enjoying lunch/ice cream with friends. I got some unbelievable pictures that day! 
Henrietta Creek Apple Orchard. The students learned about the process of turning cotton into the clothes we wear today. Also discussed were bees, polination, and honey. We were then given a tour of the orchard and each student got to pick an apple to eat!
