This Is Halloween

I hosted my annual Halloween party on the Saturday before Halloween, every year. I put out a variety of snacks and foods. We had chips and dips, veggies, hummus, and candy. I also made a cereal snack mix.

I even made a vegan snack tray for my friends who don't eat meat.

The cereal mix had cheerios, pretzels, pumpkin spice wheat squares, candy corn, and vegetarian marshmallows.

Of course there was a lot of candy.

Candy is my favorite!

Mr Duffy and I dressed like skeletons.

We had a Halloween tree. You can see some of our friends sitting under it.

This is Rumbletum, he is one of our closest friends.

Candy candy candy!

Some of my friends sat in this fun wagon for a photo. Of course I had Halloween lights and garland. I do love decorating as much as I can for holidays!

Happy Halloween!

A Visit to Spina Farms

 Today we were going to visit a pumpkin patch.

 We stopped at Starbucks to get a pumpkin spice latte.

 We went to Spina Farms, where I went last year.

 Since it was Halloween, the park was very quiet. In a way, that was good because we had most of the place to ourselves.

 The downside is many of the pumpkins were picked over, and some of the attractions were closed.

 They had this couch made out of hay. It is fun for a photo but I wouldn't nap on it.

 This is one gigantic chair. I bet a whole human family could fit on it!

 Ah, nice view.

 I am always curious as to which pumpkins are edible. Are all of them? Are some just for decoration?

 I love seeing these giant pumpkins and other cutouts.

 I told Mr Duffy to sit by the Knuckle Head sign. He can be goofy sometimes.

 This is a pumpkin in its early stage. It is green! At first glance, it looks like a watermelon.

 You can see how it starts to slowly turn yellow.

 Eventually, the pumpkin will become orange when it is ready.

 Good thing I am not a crow!

 One nice thing about this particular farm is they have several educational signs about pumpkins.

 Along with pumpkins, they also grow marigolds and corn. It is very harvesty!

 Okay, so now to really look at pumpkins to find a good one.

 Who are those critters peering behind those pumpkins?

 This is a nice pyramid, unfortunately not as impressive as the one at the bigger park down south.

 Still 18 inches tall!

 I'm the king of the gourd!

I found the perfect teddy-sized pumpkin.

We paid for our pumpkins and headed home. We had to get dressed in our costumes and get ready for all the candy eating!

Disney on Ice

I went to see Disney on Ice. I was excited because I love ice skating, and of course you know I am a huge Disney fan.

I wasn't sure if we were allowed to take photographs. There were no signs saying we couldn't, so I took a few pics. During a break, they made an announcement, encouraging everyone to take a lot of photos, to post them on social media, and what to use for hash tags. So I was in the clear!

Mickey and Minnie were driving around in a cool car.

You can see my outline in the front, while Mickey's story played out on the ice.

There was a segment all about Cars. How did they drive on the ice?

And my most favorite part of the show was Frozen.

This made me want to put on my Elsa dress and go ice skating.

When Olaf was singing about summer, these bugs skated around.

They sold all the classic souvenirs that I heard about. Things like light up wands and cotton candy containers and snow cone cups. I bought a coloring book and a sippy cup full of smores cereal. Yummy!

This was such a fun evening and I can't wait to see it again. I think they are coming back to the area in February. I do hope to go!
