Welcome to What We Did, our photo round-up that is posted every Monday morning featuring photos from the past week - and what a week it was.
The Denton festival season is well underway now, y'all. Thin Line kicked it off in a big way. We aren't sure about y'all, but we had a great time (and we expect you did, too). In the middle of it, we ate way too much food at Juicy Pig so expect a post on that later on this week.
Below, are a bunch of photos tagged with #WDDI on Instagram (from both y'all and We Denton Do It contributors). Check them out for some instant nostalgia from the past week.

Let’s face it, Denton isn’t going to shy away from fall with all her fickle beauty, creepiness, and pumpkin-spice delicacies (Have you tried The Great Pumpkin donut at Hypnotic? I have, for several days in a row).
