The weekend

Sam was at her mom's house this weekend, with the exception of Sunday afternoon when we spent a few hours finishing up pumpkins and shopping before Halloween. She got to go to what sounded like a very cool Halloween carnival on Saturday with her friend, Emily, and she got to wear her costume to that (she ended up being a witch instead of a peacock). She said she had a really good time even though it was really windy.

For Claudia and Jordan's Halloween activity, we took them to Connor Prairie Saturday night. So fun!! And so cold.



But so fun!! We're totally going to go again next year. We stood in line for a really, really long time



and then went on a spooky hayride through the dark woods, saw the Headless Horseman and some other characters and listened to ghost stories told by a Connor Prairie story teller.



For snacks we had hot cider, caramel apples, kettle corn, smores, apple donuts and hot chocolate. oink.



After the hayride we went to the barn dancing but the line was too long and we were cold, so we watched for a few minutes and then danced behind the barn. We taught Jamie the Cotton Eyed Joe and how to square dance.
