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.
Haven't been to Ride to a Witch? You must! Gardner Village is truly so amazing, and they are giving one of my lucky readers two tickets to Ride to a Witch!

Our favorite Halloween tradition is the pre-Halloween ritual. We spend the afternoon getting ready but first we have hot apple cider and make caramel apples. Then we do hair and makeup and costumes.

Our favorite Halloween tradition is carving pumpkins as an extended family, starting out in Grandma's pumpkin patch, picking them ourselves :)

Favorite thing about Gardner village = it's my family, he's my great, great grand father. I love the restaurant makes me feel like I actually have a family.
Favorite Halloween tradition = carving pumpkins with my kids and eating ghosts in the graveyard ( shepherds pie with the mashed potatoes shaped like a ghost on top)
Dressing up as a construction worker, most recent "flavor of the month" was the inspiration.
Love you and your photos kim

Fave thing about GV? Camilla with the bunny.
Fave Halloween tradition: Eating all the PB cups out of my kids trick or treat bags after they go to bed. I am awesome.
I love checking out KOP on the FB. She's my fave. ;)
Checked out GV on FB. The petting zoo is still there? I thought it bit the dust! I love that place. Your llama picture made me LOL.
Your children are beautiful! Truly they are. That place sounds like a dream. I love animals so if I was close that's what I'd love the most!
We love visiting the witches at Gardner Village, my children get so excited!
I'm most likely going to be a witch for Halloween! Happy Halloween to you! Absolutely love your photos, darling kids. xo
