WHAT WE DID: MARCH 7TH 2016

What We Did is our weekly roundup of a few of the best photos that have been tagged with #WDDI in the past week on Instagram. 

We broke our self-imposed rule this week and added a few more pictures than normal. Y'all just took so many awesome photos last week, that our hands were forced. This week, we have 21 beautiful images from the past seven days of life in Denton, TX featuring the likes of Touch-a-Truck, the Color Run, TEDxTWU, and much more. 

If you'd like to be included in What We Did, tag your images with #WDDI on Instagram, and check back here next week. In the meantime, search the hashtag #WDDI and check out all of the other awesome photos that we were unable to include this week. We're getting close to 30,000 all-time-tags and we would like to narrow that gap very soon. Click the images below to be led back to the photographer's Instagram page where you can follow them and become bffs.

WHAT WE DID: MARCH 9TH 2015

35 Denton is back this week, y'all! While many folks are already on spring break, it won't start for most Denton students for another 7 days and the rest of us will just sit around and be envious at our 9 - 5's. 

Last week had a little bit of everything. There was snowfall, live music, sunshine and lots of trucks (and even a helicopter) to touch. Below, we have 18 photos that showcase the best of what Denton, TX had to offer over the past seven days. 

Include #WDDI on your Instagram photos and we'll include our favorites in What We Did every Monday morning. Heck, next Saturday, we're even hosting an Instawalk as part of 35 Denton next Saturday. Come hang out with us as we make our way from Shift to the 35 Denton festival. More info here. As for the photos below, you can click on them to get linked back to the photographer's Instagram account. Have a great week!
