Not to say a PP isnt worth the photos, but when you’re ready for something new, no matter where you are, save this!
Year 1 we did the PP. It was cute. Mother Nature’s Farm in Gilbert, AZ. He was free- it was worth it, but to save the $15 per person this time we opted for some more budget friendly and free activities!
The McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park- Scottsdale, AZ but if you Google “Halloween train ride in yourcity” you will get some great results.
Great for ALL ages
Buy tickets ahead
Bring your own food and drinks and make it a party
Trick or Treat in the Day- Don’t literally go ask for candy, but instead look at the decorations while the suns out.
Day decorations are not as scary
You can see all the spooky details
Map your treat route- which houses look like they came to play?
Paint a Pumpkin- Why carve, when you can paint!
Any age can show off their skills
Add to a party or just by your self / with your little
Pumpkins last longer without a carve or use a fake one and reuse next year
No pumpkin? No problem! Hand and footprint spooky crafts are just as fun
Make Cookies- Sugar cookie dough for now + freeze for next 2 months of holidays!
Decorate pumpkin cookies and skeletons using your ornament and gingerbread cutters from other holidays
Make lots of dough + freeze. I have an unbeatable recipe here
Make a spooky quesadilla- triangle cute eyes and mouth on a tortilla + burnt cheese bonus
What ever your spooky activity make it a memorable one. Creating holiday core memories have been a highlight of parenthood. Let me know if you recommend any other non patch spooky tings….. Happy Halloween!
