Welcome to October! I love October for so many reasons! It's my birthday month, my husband's birthday month, our anniversary month & Halloween! I think Halloween's one of my most favorite holidays of the year. It's just so much fun to dress up, watch your kid's get excited about dressing up, choosing a costume, choosing another costume, and yet....another costume! Ha Ha...if your kids are like mine they go through several choices throughout the entire month!
There's many fun activities during this time of year. Not only Fall Festivals, Harvest festivals, and pumpkin patches, but fun spooky events going on throughout the month (I'll be blogging about our fun visit to Halloween Time at Disneyland Resorts and California Adventure later this week).
In the meantime, here are just a few more fun, family activities as well as some really great, spooky places to visit during this scary time of year! Hope you enjoy it.
