As we finished unpacking and organizing, we began exploring our new town.

My kiddos love a good adventure! Did I tell you that one of my college roommates and best friends, Kelly, lives within 30 minutes of us? It has been the biggest blessing! She’s given us a list of her favorite places and we are checking them off one by one.

This beautiful creek is in the middle of Flower Mound, Texas.

Kelly asked me to take her daughter’s senior pictures and this beautiful creek was one of the locations we photographed at. As soon as I saw the creek, I knew I’d have to take the kids. It is a perfect place for wandering, exploring, jumping, and feeling like you just might be stumbling on to a very secret wonderland.

There is also a playground that was the perfect spot to rest while the kids kept playing.

One of the most common questions I receive is, “How does it work when you have five kids with a big age range?”.

It is hard to put it into words, but I hope these pictures help you see how amazing it is. They are a gift to each other in so many ways.
