Following our over packed summer of adventures, we of course had to keep it up with our favorite time of year, fall/Halloween! We've been striving to pack as much fall fun into every weekend! So when this weekend came around, and we had no set plans for Saturday, I did a search for something fun to do that was Halloween related. It was in that search that we found this wonderful farm that does haunted hayrides! At night is their main attraction for adults with spooky fun, but during the day they have a fun, mildly spooky hayride for kids, with kid appropriate scares!Lily all settled into the hay, excited for the ride to start:
I am so excited we found this fun activity! We all had a fun time on the ride, enjoying the spooky decorations in the safety of daylight!
They had a lot of fun effects, that I can see would get some good scares at night in the dark, like this giant spider prop that drops down to the wagon:
That scared Lily a little, but she was laughing about it after!
They also had actors throughout the ride route. At the graveyard we were greeted by a couple monsters:
Lily was a little worried by them, but again, laughed after:
Some of the actors had little story lines, like we met Dorthy, who was locked up by the wicked witch from the west! We also met Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Little Red Riding Hood, The Scare Crow, Tin Man and Lion, and a Princess and Prince!
This was the coolest effect we saw, they had the Wicked Witch fly over our head on a zip line! So creative, yet so simple! And Very Very effective!
Captain Hook warning us:
We all had such a fun time on this ride! Enough that it had Sean and I wishing we had someone we trusted as a babysitter close by so we could experience the night time ride! Lily had so much fun though...with just the right amount of fun scary to get her laughing and screaming! This will definitely be something we repeat next year!
