Fairytales in the forest

A couple of nights ago, our friends called to see if we wanted to join them at this little---I don't even know what it was called. Basically it was a bunch of fairytales brought to life all along a pathway through a forrest. And at each little stop, the kids got a piece of candy. It was a way for little kids to celebrate Halloween without having to worry about being scared. It was so cute and so fun!

I think this was the Gingerbread Man's house

Sleeping Beauty



The 3 little pigs (I didn't get a shot of the other 2 pigs houses)

**There were a bunch of others that I didn't get pictures of but the one I really wish I would have taken was the Sword in the Stone. Well maybe not the stone part but the cute little Boy Scout that was working that stop. He got really into his role and would yell out to the crowds "Come one, come all and step right up to the sword in the stone! Try your strength to see if you have what it takes to become the King of all the land!" and on and on from there. The whole event was put on by the scouts as a way to make money and most of the other boys were like "Here's your candy. Happy Halloween." One scout didn't even look up from his phone as he was texting while handing out candy to the kids. But not the sword in the stone guy! I wish he had a little tip jar in front of him. He deserved to be paid for his performance!

At the end of the path, there was a hay ride (notice how Ella won't take her eyes off the candy!)
