The Witches

Every year in October Gardner Village decorates for Halloween with all of these awesome witches. And every year my friend, Tara, and I take the kids to check it out and take some pictures. This year was really great. It was warm, but not hot. It wasn't very crowded. We fed some ducks and fish. The kids picked out a great (cheap) treat from the candy shop. They picked out whistle pops. Remember those? Lots of fun. I got some yummy fudge and I found a great stocking stuffer for the kids. They are these really cool wooden cork guns. I also got to chat with Tara a little bit and, of course, we took pictures. Enjoy!

I LOVE this face.
This is seriously the best "smile" I got out of Davin. My boys were having an un-photogenic day.
For some reason the kids all thought these stairs leading up to nothing were great. Weston said that if they were woodpeckers then they would have been able to get through the wall even though there wasn't a door.
Kenzi took this picture of the bicycling/flying witch for me.
Davin taking advantage of his freedom from the stroller.
Weston was so excited that this witch was holding his hand. Also, Kenzi's face is classic.
The best one of the day! Even though Davin isn't looking at the camera.
Even witches need their chocolate fixes.
This witch outside the candy shop had a cat chasing a mouse under her skirt.
Finally, this was not at Gardner Village, but a little while ago I put all of Weston's dress up clothes into one bin in his room, so he has been using them more often. Such a handsome cowboy, am I right ladies???

Cute, cute! That is such a fun day. And I love the candy shop there. Mmmmmm, fudge. That is quite the busty witch in the first picture, I'm pretty sure that's what made Weston nervous. (It would make me nervous!) Hahaha! I'm glad you had a fun day and it's always more fun with another mom/friend.

That first picture of Weston made me giggle. So funny.

We love Witches' Night Out. All the girls in our family go on one of the nights. Claire lives for it.

So cute!! I'm getting excited for the fall. Yesterday I decorated for Halloween and at Super Saturday in a couple weeks I'm making a cute candy corn. . . just for fun! I'm so glad you gathered all the dress up clothes together in one place for Weston (and Davin). That boy does seem to love to dress up!! It's way past my bedtime. I better get!! Love ya!

I hear that is really fun. Glad you got to go before the storm hit.

Weston is a handsome cowboy. Cute stocking stuffer idea.

Tara said...

The first pic of Weston actually turned out really adorable because it looks like he's worried that witch is gonna reach out and grab him at any moment. And I love the one of the boys on the haystacks. Way to go w/ the orange shirts, looks awesome. Fun fun. :)
