Friday Family Night

I love the Fall there are so many activities to do. Friday I loaded up Etta and Gibson and put the Chariot in the back of the truck. When Andy came home from an appointment he had I told him to jump in and we were off. Where were we going? To Red Butte Gardens. They have an activity called Garden After Dark. We arrived around 6:00pm right when it opened and were handed a map and on the map where special locations to visit. The big fire bins were where you get our map stamped for a special prize at the end. We went through three fun mazes; one with red lights, a haunted maze with spider webs and a fun black light maze that made all of the white on our outfits light up.
In addition to all the fun mazes there was a big fire pit where you could bang on drums, a pumpkin painting area and tons of little booths for playing magical activities. Etta had a blast and it was great for kids her age.
After the gardens we were all pretty hungry and so we stopped at Ruby River for some dinner. Andy's steak had some problems so we got free dessert. Etta and I shared it because Andy didn't like what I chose (he told me to pick). But in the end it was so cute to have Etta have her way with the ice cream and cookie.
It was a warm evening and when we got home around 9:00 the family just laid on the grass for
for a little while. We posed for the camera, played with Hathcher and tackled Daddy.

Etta found some scary hands coming out of the ground in one of the mazes.

Tossing bean bags is easy when you go all the way up to the cauldron.
Etta loved painting the pumpkin and when ever she got paint on her hand it had to be washed off right then.
