Gardner Village Ride to a Witch | Giveaway

Saturday, my family and I woke up early to wander the grounds of Gardner Village. We started out with a yummy breakfast from the Wasatch Front Farmers Market, and wept a little inside that it is almost over for the year.

After breakfast we walked around and enjoyed a little witch sight seeing.

It is no secret, as you know, that I adore Gardner Village. I love the fun and unique shops as well as all of the events that are specific to the seasons. There is always something new and exciting for my kids, as well as basic traditions that we have come to create by going to Gardner Village. Ride to a Witch has become one such tradition that our family enjoys, and this year especially as my kids are just a bit older.

Our creepy ride tickets.









Enjoying a tractor ride and the crisp fall air.





Checking out the witch's house. The kids loved that they could touch EVERYTHING as long as they promised not to eat anything.













Getting a dance lesson from the resident dancing witch queen. She was wonderful with the kids and taught them a ghoulish line dance. Complete with mummy and werewolf moves.



Even if Camilla wasn't having any of it. She may have been completely terrified of the most adorable stuffed animal kitty stuck in the floor.























We ended our visit with the witches with a good old fashioned cockroach funeral. It was emotional.





Camilla and I loved this heart shaped rock.





Emmaree was the perfect age to be absolutely in love with all of the witches. They were beautiful and their costumes were out of this world wonderful. Emm couldn't get enough that is for sure. She loved that she fit right in with her sparkly purple shirt.



After all of our fun with the beautiful and sassy witches, we spent our next hour riding ponies and snuggling on animals in the petting zoo. Needless to say, my kids loved this! This was my first time being close up to animals. They are beautiful and each one had their own attitude.

























Camilla is still talking about the, "Wabbit with the wed eyes don't yike me!" Precious.
