Halloween Party 2015

It’s taken me a little while to get this post together because I had a little difficulty with my blog program, so I’m catching up a bit.  One highlight of our last weekend was the awesome Halloween party at Mousey and Poppy’s house.  It was the perfect evening for an outdoor party, and the kids (and adults) had an absolute blast!  Our girls and the Williams girls were in attendance with some mutual friends of both of ours, and even a few dogs to go with it!

The activities for the kids started with a scavenger hunt of “bones” out in the field, and that was followed by some toilet paper mummy making.

After the first two activities, the kids ate some Halloween party food then got ready for the donut on a string activity.  They had to race to see who could finish the donut fastest without using their hands.  That’s an activity I think I could have excelled at!!

The next big event was the magic show put on by Madame Vanish and her assistant, Lucious.

The magic show was quite impressive.  Madame Vanish and Lucious have quite the entertaining act!  After wowing the kids with several impressive tricks, they really topped it with their grand finale – the levitation of Lucious.  This video doesn’t quite do it justice as it’s a little far away, but the levitation act was most definitely the highlight of the show.  Check it out here: https://youtu.be/JCPmZTh4cLs  Madame Vanish and Lucious definitely inspired several young budding magicians.  Smile

With the buzz from the magic show still brewing, the kids then headed down to the woods for their haunted woods walk.

In addition to all the props in the woods, there were several characters waiting in various places to jump out and scare and little party goers who happened to walk by.

After all the kids got their turn on the haunted woods walk, we all enjoyed some time sitting around the bonfire.  The kids played and ran hard in the field then tried their hand at using the props  to scare each other at their own version of the haunted woods walk.

The evening finished off with the kids having to feel some “dead things” around the bonfire, and Lyla continuing to press Poppy on the secret of how he levitated!  It was such a great party, and my parents did an amazing job of making it so fun for the kids.  We so appreciated all their hard work to create all the games, the magic show, the haunted woods, etc., to make it such a fun night of memories for the kids.  Our girls had an absolute blast, and I know we did too.  What a great night with family and friends!
