HALLOWEEN at Greenfield Village

Tonight we joined our neighbors for another great adventure at Greenfield Village for their annual Halloween nights. Thankfully the weather was great. A little cool, but NO rain! We arrived during the last bit of daylight and began the walk through the jack-o-lantern lit pathway. As it became darker, it also became spookier! The kids loved every minute of the dazzling costumes, smokey buildings, screaming monsters, dark forests, and fighting pirates! The fan favorite was the pitch black covered bridge! Luckily our kids were outfitted with glow sticks and flashlights. They also loved the trick-or-treating stations located throughout the path where they collected apples, candy, cookies, and potato chips. I recommend this event to everyone!

Russell was thrilled to be in his Batman costume and even more excited that his buddy Antonio was also Batman! (Russell is the Batman on the right) Sloane opted for street clothes which made it easier for me to keep her warm. I had to layer sweatshirts under Russell's costume in order to ensure his warmth.
These boys were side-by-side most of the night and flying high with excitement!
Sloane was thrilled to meet Little Bo Peep! She would have stayed with her all night if allowed. It was very sweet!
The Headless Horseman! Sloane walked right up with no fear to pet the horse. Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to snap her picture.
The ride home...It didn't take long for Sloane to fall asleep. She refused to let go of her pumpkin pal.
