October 1–31 at Grace Avenue United Methodist Church in Frisco, Pumpkins on the Prairie offers a full month of fall fun with no entry fee. Families can explore the pumpkin patch, bounce house, hay labyrinth, pumpkin play area, scavenger hunt, and seasonal concessions, with weekend extras including face painting, food trucks, hay rides when conditions allow, and a pumpkin trebuchet. The patch is open weekdays from 2–7 pm, Saturdays 10 am–7 pm, and Sundays 11:30 am–7 pm, closing at 5 pm on Halloween. Pumpkin, food, concession, and trebuchet purchases are additional. Proceeds support Grace Avenue’s missions and ministries.

Mealtimes, bedtime and big feelings can take up a lot of space in life with a young child. Our three-part parent series brings together experts and Schechter educators to help families better understand what’s happening developmentally and respond with practical strategies they can use at home.
