Haunted Heber Creeper

We totally recommend the Pumpkin Festival at the Heber Valley Railroad, especially if you find discount tickets! Ellie loved the "Train Station".

Of course, we went the day it turned cold, but at least the rain and snow stopped while we rode!

The haunted car--spiders and too much fog! The two little ones clung to Mommy. Where'd Dad go?

We even chose a pumpkin in their pumpkin patch (a 20 ft square fenced in by chicken wire).

Someone's old enough to safely handle the camera!!

Dancing the monster mash. These "train helpers" later brought us each a cookie.

See? It really was a scary ride!

Not sure why we bought seats. They did this the whole time!

The girls were disappointed we didn't make it to the lake to see if we could find Grandpa there. We turned back at soldier hollow--the engine "shoved" us all the way back!

The October cold snap followed us south! We got rained on and it was very cold for the girls first trip to Tuacahn. They liked it anyway! Especially when Dad went and bought them warm churros and nuts! See how he works?
We went back the next (sunny) day for pictures. We only got there by the skin of our teeth after Katie's early out day and a quick drive south. (Which is the reason we finally found for loving being at the south end of the Wasatch Front!)

See how much we like the sun we finally got? :)

We hope to go again next year to see The Little Mermaid!

Happy Haunted!

Ellie Loved the plug in pumpkin face! Every time she goes by it she laughs and says, "There's my Silly pumpkin that I made!"

We let Katie pretty much carve her own this year. Scary, I know. She broke the tip off my knife, but otherwise came out unscathed. Phew!

Katie had a full-dog halloween. Her pumpkin is a dog paw print (not a cougar, but. . . ) and she enjoyed being led around on a leash by Cruella. Maybe she doesn't remember how that story went!
