Falling into fall with a few fun events
Cool fall events are on the horizon
September is upon us.

Hopefully back-to-school on the calendar will mean cooler fall temperatures on the thermometer, too.

If you're looking for a few fall outing ideas, take a look at this list we've put together.

Got another idea? We'd love to hear it.

11 acres of adventure opened at the Dallas Zoo over Memorial Day.

If the summer temperatures kept you away from the new Giants of the Savanna exhibit, now's the time to schedule your visit.

The new habitat for elephants, giraffes, lions and cheetahs will make visitors as happy as its animal inhabitants.

They've come a long way in a relatively short time, since Jenny the elephant and her pals were on concrete in Zoo North just months ago.

It will literally warm your heart to see them taking a dip in their new swimming hole.

Then for $5 you can purchase lettuce to hand-feed the giraffes.

Hopefully with cooler weather on way, your heart's the only thing that will be warm. The zoo is great fall destination.



August Dollars Days are officially over at the Dallas Arboretum, but the Great Pumpkin Festival is on the way!

Beginning September 18th, visitors to the Arboretum can enjoy some awesome photo ops among the 40,000 pumpkins that will fill the gardens.

Pumpkin houses, a hay bale maze, and petting zoo are all activities to enjoy throughout the month.

Looking for a more professional fall photo? Holt Haynsworth, of Haynsworth Photography, will be on hand Mondays and Tuesdays during September offering photos for only $15 each.

A little closer to home, our favorite city landmark White Rock Lake, is a great spot to enjoy in the cooler weather.

The 1,000 acre lake provides almost endless opportunities to walk, bike, and spend time with your favorite two-legged and four-legged friends.

The White Rock Dog Park is great place to spend a cool morning or afternoon in September.

But if dogs aren't a part of your family, you should definitely think about stopping by the Corinthian Sailing Club on Sunday, September 26th.

Located on the lake's northeast shore, the club and its members will host the Wooden Boat Association from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. for a free event that includes a look at some great antique and classic wooden boats.

Don't tell anybody, but the hot dogs are free, too!

These are just a few ideas to help you and your family enjoy this month's (hopefully) cooler weather.

If you have an idea to share, shoot us an email at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

We look forward to hearing from you.
