October in Spring means the pumpkins show up before the humidity does, and we're not letting a little Texas heat get between our kids and a trunk-or-treat lineup. Creative Kidz is opening its doors and its bounce house for a Saturday morning of fall festival fun. Our families are invited, and so is the rest of Spring.

Little ones can dig into fall sensory stations, get their hands full at the autumn crafts table, and settle in for story time. Bigger kids can work up the nerve for the haunted bus (more giggles than ghosts, by design) and make their way through the trunk-or-treat stations. Everyone gets a turn on the bounce house, a stop for face painting, a mini pumpkin to take home, and plenty of chances to grab a photo along the way.
