Spook night is a go

Out at Gunstock Ranch on the north shore
there is a spooky haunted hay ride.
Our friends run it and we have to try
to go every year. It was much scarier this
year than expected. Last year they had
a kid version and an adult version. This
year, what I thought was a kid version
really wasn't kid rated at all. Even I was scared.
My poor kids sat on my lap with their eyes closed
most of the ride. One of the mummies tried to
reach up and touch Kayla's leg and I heard her
scream, "Please leave me alone. Go away.
They are just people in costumes, they are
just people in costumes." It was sad but pretty
funny to hear her say that. I knew it was a bad
idea to take the twins this year. I am just glad they
weren't up all night with bad dreams. There were
some friends we went with and one of the little girls,
probably about 7-8 years old, had to trade places with
me so she wouldn't be on the outside of the wagon. They
sure kicked it up a notch this year for sure.
Great job, next year I will leave the kids at home!

This is before the ride...they are still smiling.
