Extravaganza!

Abby's school held the annual
Fall Extravaganza
at Dawes Arboretum
There was a hayride through the trees
and lots of spooky things

Abby met up with some friends They dug for prizes
in buckets of corn

Tried on their prizesMade me
try on their prizesMade apple cider
where Eli
argued with the Johnny Appleseed character
(with a pot for a hat and everything)
that he couldn't be the real Johnny Appleseed
because
the real Johnny Appleseed
was dead.
Made necklaces
from buckeyes

Drank lots of hot chocolate

ate lots of popcorn

Went on a luminary walk

through the woods.

I kept having to remind

Abby and her friends

NOT to blow out the candles. Our walk led to

a spooky cabin

in the woods and a bonfire

with story tellers.

Stories about monsters

bobbing for children

in swimming pools

instead of

apples in a barrel.
