We have kept very busy lately with some spooky fall activities. On Friday night, our family, and friend Jen went to the Nashville Zoo's spooky Halloween Event known as "Ghouls in Grassmere." We were very impressed with a multitude of fun-yet-not-scary Halloween games, crafts, and activities. The girls liked the haunted hayride where we saw all sorts of creepy creatures and spooky scenery. This ride may have been scarier if we waited until dark so I am very glad we chose to do it early! After that we walked through the Gypsy maze, participated in the costume parade, and trick or treated all the way around the zoo. The whole set up was a lot grander in scale than I had anticipated and I was very impressed with all that it had to offer.
On Saturday we went over to Cheekwood for their Day of the Dead Festival. This was another event very well done and I can't wait to go back next year. There were lots of venders selling Mexican art and food, countless crafts, a puppet show, various mariachi and Inca musical groups, and teenagers from different high schools competing to make the most beautiful Dia De Los Muertos chalk art design. The girls came home with their bellies full of quesadillas and their bags full of skeleton crafts, We are a bit tuckered this evening but we have made some incredible memories in the last few days!
