The weekend leading up to Halloween was again so busy and delightful this year.
There was model United Nations and a debate tournament for Miss 1.
It was followed by a Haunted Hallway that was even cooler this year.
The Frightful feast was delightful and delicious.
And of course Halloween!

Once the trick-or-treater has entered into the inner chamber,
they get to "adopt a little ghost" for their pendant.

Once you have picked your ghostie, you are prompted to paint it with eyes.
