We welcomed this fall weathered weekend with a trip to the Overland Park Arboretum for their super fun fall festival. We had been here last summer, our only other trip, and had a really nice time, so when I heard about this I was intrigued. It was so much fun that we will definitely be keeping it on our calendar for next year.
They had a huge tent filled with probably 10-15 craft stations. Each station used organic materials that are all readily available like leaves, hedge apples, flower petals, seed pods, etc., etc. It certainly inspired me to get creative with some of the things we have in our own neighborhood for some fall craft projects! Sophia would have happily done each and every craft, but we had limited time on our hands. They also had a look out station with binoculars, which was way cool, and the KC Symphony performed Peter and the Wolf. There was so much to see and do, and we really didn't even seem to make a dent in it! I would like to go back and visit the Arboretum again just to stroll through the grounds and look at all the beautiful fall colors! This week is going to be so gorgeous that we may just have to find our way back there!
