Goblins in the Garden

Holden Arboretum does a fantastic job with their annual Goblins in the Garden event, so we didn't want to miss it. The trick-or-treat displays are so creative and well done - I look forward to seeing how they put it all together.

The weather was beautiful in the morning, but we got caught in a downpour later in the day. Luckily, we had gotten through the trick-or-treat trail and the maze before the rain started, and we did some art and enjoyed yummy Halloween cookies while waiting for the rain to pass. There was definitely plenty to do!

This was Ainsley's first chance to wear her Rapunzel costume this year, and we got a bunch of compliments - everyone loved the long hair!

In the Old West jail
Follow the Yellow Brick Road!

Ahoy!
Fresh-picked apples from local orchards
Lots of people and lots of fun!
