This year we decided to try our hand at a halloween party. The kids were each able to invite a handful of friends, and between pinterest and our imaginations a party took shape.
For teenagers we decided lots of food, treats, and a handful of games would give them plenty to do. Sid created a Halloween playlist on spotify that was full of great tunes. We began with one before dark activity, a scavenger hunt where clues led the kids to all areas of the farm and in different directions. This was my first experience with a scavenger hunt. One clue led to the next and it turned out great, however it was a comedy of errors to get it laid out and make sure that each teams clues worked!
Inside we had slices and bat wings to eat, along with a number of spooky libations. There were blood samples, a caramel apple making station, and a guess how much candy is in the jar station
B lit a Swedish torch. Of course there was an energetic game of hide and seek in the dark and the boys did a late night trampoline jumping session. It was much harder to try to get any pictures of the boys because they were constantly moving! They are really turning into little men with varying degrees of deeper voices, laughing as they jump and solve the worlds problems.
To top off the sugar high, Sidney made a birthday cake for her friend Mia. This was a bit of a different party. Charles had a great time with his friends, but this was the first time that Sid wanted to be very involved in the planning, setup and execution. It was fun to watch her going around making sure everything was just right...Icing on the cake.
