A lot of wonderful things happen in the fall…namely, the changing of leaves, long-awaited cooler weather, pumpkin-flavored everything, Halloween, high school football, fun festivals…need I say more? I think the pictures will speak for themselves in showcasing why fall is indeed the most awesome season of them all in Texas.
