A Witches Treat




The Fabulous Witches. The one w/ the frog is the one that was on the Wagon Ride. She made the kids laugh. There were several people already in costume. (Not the Witches!) It was great people watching!













The "Witchy Poo"



Monday me and my girlfriend took our kids to Gardner Villiage to see all the Witches. It was FUN! All the Witches were amazingly decorated and the "real-live" ones were hillarious. The kids found the one witch that was in an out-house. It was called the "Witchy Poo". My kids thought it was the best one. We had a great time. We made it around with only 1 minor ding (let you guess who got it! Just a scrape on the hand) and no one fell into the water. There were a few times I thought Luke was going in..for sure. We didn't get to go into any of the stores..I guess I should say we didn't "attempt" to go into any stores with the kids. (That will have to be another day w/ just the moms!) We did however stop at the bakery. It was divine! I splurged and had a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookie w/Cream Cheese frosting. Yes, it was as good as it sounds!
After we walked around, we went over to the Petting Zoo and got to walk around and pet some of the animals. Alex really took to this goat with big horns. He also liked the geese and there was this HUGE pig named Sally. He really wanted to see her get up, but she was asleep. He wouldn't even touch her snout! There was a bunny that was in a pen that he like to pet as well. He's a real animal lover.














Luke and this goat became quick friends. He walked it all around the pen. He kept his hand on him for ages, just walking beside him. It was so funny to watch. He walked it over a bridge and around until the goat layed down. Luke had both arms wrapped around the goat's neck and kept saying, "get up goat." He didn't want to leave the goat, but we finally convinced him to come with us and finish out our trip on the wagon ride.
Here's a picture with all the kids in front of this big wheel thing. (I am sure there is a proper name for it, but it's late, and I have no idea what it's called!!)





Kids: Left to right - Noah, Addy, Alex, Bailey, and Luke.


We rounded our fun trip off with a wagon ride with a Witch. She told us some stories and we rode around on a hay wagon being pulled by a tractor. It was great. The kids had the best time and it was well worth the trip. We finished off the night with dinner at McDonald's. (With the playland!) It was a great way to spend FHE! I love making these memories with the kids. Time is a gift!
