We had the best weekend. My cousin Jim and his wife Jenny live on about 12 acres in southwest Ohio, near Cincinnati. You can see pictures of their place on a blog entry from August. Anyhow, we went there on Saturday along with my mom for a little overnight getaway/Halloween extravaganza! Much of their property is woods and when we were there in August, it was determined that it would be a great place for a haunted trail! So, a haunted trail was created just for Evan. Their 14 yr old nephew created the entire thing-thank you Carl!! Our day was spent carving pumpkins, hiking in the woods, riding on the tractor. Then evening came. We first went up the road to a haunted corn maze-OMG, it was so much fun. Evan wasn't quite sure about it-he went thru the whole thing but I think was then leery of going on the haunted trail when we got back. I had to explain to him that it wasn't like the maze-no one was going to jump out at him-it would just be Jenny and Carl in the woods. It took a bit of convincing but off we went. It was great. Evan loved it! We then had a bonfire along with s'mores and then Evan was done for the night. Next morning we were treated to a huge
breakfast and then we took off for the barn where Jenny keeps her horse. Evan rode for a little while but then the horse was spooked by a deer and that ended the ride real quick!
We had such a wonderful time, thanks to my wonderful cousins. I just love my family. Evan has been in tears every day since we left because he misses them so much and is sad that the weekend was over. :( Bless his heart. Jenny called yesterday and said that they decided it needed to be an annual event-I told her they were on the same wave length as Evan because he told me Monday that it needed to become a tradition.
