Maria and I took Reese and Dominic to Conner Prairie for their Headless Horseman event on Sunday night. I have been prepping Reese for weeks. We bought a copy of the original Legend of Sleepy Hollow, have listened to an audiobook version of the story, read a picture book, watched the Disney version, and even watched the Legend of Smurfy Hollow. Okay, I might have gone overboard but I like when we have a story to both be excited about and talk about. I like having things like that to share with her. I also wanted her to be prepared so in case it is scary she knows what is going to happen.
We watched a marionette show of the story, which Reese loved but Dom did not and had to leave halfway through. We visited a monster museum and snacked on apple slider slushes and popcorn.
love these two!
The kids made monkeys fly with a catapult.
We met Holly Ween.
And played music. This tent was awesome. There was a hippie man who played really loud kid-friendly but not obnoxious music and had tons of instruments, purchased and handmade all over a tent. It was the loudest thing I have every participated in but was so much fun!
The place was packed so the tickets we got for the headless horseman hayride were for 9:15pm and we didn't make it. It was a school night and I had prepped Reese that we could come back if there were things she didn't get to do. So it was no big deal at all when we left. It was a fun night with friends. I think we may hit it up again this Sunday night and try to do the hayride this time.
