Fall Festivities- Part 1

We have had a busy October. I LOVE all the fun activities there are to do around here during the fall time, I try to take advantage of it all! Here are some of the things we did this month:
1. Wee Witches Weekend at Gardner Village- This is the second year they have done this and the second time we have gone. This year we went as a family and it was a great time! The kids get to wear costumes, walk in a parade, do crafts, get their face painted, they have food, all the witches are out, and this year they had a scavengar hunt that ended with a cookie.



2. Ride to a Witch at Gardner Village- This is our third year doing this, and it is becoming a tradition to go with Jen, Jeremy, Selina, and Cameron. Unfortunatly, this year Selina was out of town, so we will catch them next year! It used to be Ride With a Witch and you took a carriage ride with a witch who told stories and did "magic." This year, you took a wagon ride to this old train car that is the witch's home. You go inside and they talk to you, then you go outside and it's all decorated with lots of fun stuff.





3. Witches Night Out at Gardner Village- Every year I go with my dear friends Tammy, Brandy, and Cassidy to Witches Night Out. This year unfortunately our lead Mama Witch Tammy was sick with swine flu, so we had to go without her and it just wasn't the same. We were joined by Cassidy's two sisters and had a lovely time eating dinner at Winger's then enjoying the festivities of music, sales, cackling, and a butt load of witches at Gardner Village. PS This year Tammy got us these super sweet long eyelashes. I opted for silver ones....they were a bit catastrophic, but the black ones that Brandy and Cass had were great! Note to self, get black next time :)

4. Pumpkin Patch at Wheeler Farm- This year we went to Wheeler Farm to pick our Pumpkins...for the fabulous price of $7 a person you get a hayride, corn maze, hay maze, and a pumpkin of your very own! Who can beat that? We were join by the Fuller's and Dawson and Parker even walked away with some sweet sword balloons. We also checked out all the animals, and got to feed a cow some grass, which I think made Dawson and Parker's day. This thing would seriously slurp the grass with half their hand. There was some major disinfecting going on after...we don't want to start a cow flu epidemic now do we?! Sorry, bad joke.
