In Salt Lake City, part of the University of Utah, there is a large botanical gardens (Called Red Butte) that we are members to and this year we went to their Garden After Dark Halloween shindig. This event is so cute! I was really impressed, I thought the garden was just going to be decorated with jack o lanterns and they would sell popcorn and hot chocolate, and kids would be in costume, but Oh no there was so much for them to do... I totally want to make this a new tradition in our house.
There was pumpkin painting, Cadence made a Miss Piggy pumpkin and Molly decorated hers with every color possible and then a big BYU sign. Then they went outside for face painting.
Then they got to make their own witches broom from dead tree branches and dried grasses.
Very Cute! Also there was a story teller, sharing spooky stories and showing off magic tricks.
The girls loved the potion making the best. There were stations with different herbs and spices on the tables and they got these little glass vials to fill. The recipes were on big posters and both girls choose the flying potion. There was a a woman dressed as a fairy giving out "fairy dust" or glitter to add to the potions. Cadence still has hers on around her neck!
Miss Piggy giving Kermy a kiss on the check - her idea!
And Pete and I, carrying all the loot. I bought them glow in the dark swords and then we got hot chocolate and a caramel apple to split.
