fall fun

 When we lived in The Swamp, we didn't go to any corn mazes or other fall-ish places like that. One of the things Josh looked forward to the most to our move was getting to go to a corn maze, and he got the chance with my brother's family last week.

There were a few haunted houses that aren't haunted during the day, so the kids could be slightly creeped out without without being too scared (although, I think Ethan is at the age that he wants to be scared in a haunted house, at least a little bit...) 

The younger three didn't particularly like the empty haunted houses, or the squishy-walled, dark, non-haunted dinosaur innards.

What Josh was looking forward to more than anything was the pedal bikes. He's asked me for at least half a year if in the fall we would go to a corn maze so he could drive one -- because last time we went to a maze, he was too little to drive them. It was a dream come true. 

We stayed late enough to watch the fireworks. The kids watched it from the top of the giant slide.

On our way out, we got to meet two of my favorite creepy halloween characters, Beetlejuice and Jack Skellington. The kids thought it was such an amazing day and already can't wait until next year to go again!
