Visiting the Witch's Cemetery

The kids go to go trick or treating a couple of nights early when we took them to the house of one of my coworkers. She dressed up like a witch and had the front yard decked out as a spooky cemetery. She pulled flash paper out of her sleeve and ignited fireballs for the boys. She gave them goody bags and let them turn on the fog machine in the cemetery.
The kids were having a lot of fun and the party migrated to the back yard where they got to see an enormous old sanpping turtle shell she had found. They played a spirited game of "Whack the Pumpkin Off the Swing".

We then went into the music room to let the kids whack on her drum set for a few minutes. The kids had a blast and got to enjoy a bit of the holiday early. IT reminded me of a coworker of my father's who dressed like a witch on Halloween. We'd often make a special trip to her house to show off our costumes and get special treats. I hope they had as much fun.
