We started the evening with crafts and music, where Emma made a super-cool spider hat, and Drew spent some time with the Music Man, banging various “musical” objects around in an oh-so-pleasant melody.
Next stop was to the Weird Science pavilion where we saw how electricity works, the insides of bugs, and various rodent skuls.
Then came playground time. I’m not really a fan of this; I mean we come to Conner Prairie to experience all the “ghoulish” things and yet the kids wind up on a playground that they can experience any time. But such is life; I’m not going to argue with a super stubborn 4-year old and a mischievous 17-month old.
After that wore off, we went to the “Scarey-O-Kee” tent where we watched one of Emma’s favorite videos (Thriller) and spent some time exploring the black light magic. And Drew? Well he was just content to bulldoze over the electrically lighted pumpkins, breaking the bulbs in the meantime. That kid. I tell you what….he’s going to be a little trouble-maker. At 17 months, the kid knows what he’s doing…and he just laughs his cute little laugh and shows his adorable little dimple. No one can resist…so WHAT if he breaks a little bulb along the way?!? :)
Finally, after a couple of exploratory hours later (code for waiting), our time was up to head out to the hayride to see the Headless Horseman. While waiting in line, we really started to get Emma amped up. It was kinda funny; she was getting annoyed with me saying I was “so scared.” I believe she said, “Uh, Mom. Don’t be scared. See (*pointing to Malnar*)—Malnar’s not scared.” But just as soon as we got into the hayride, she slid down into the hay where her head wasn’t seen from above the wagon. After all that talk about kicking ghouls and not being afraid, ol girl was scared poopless! Three days later, and she’s STILL talking about who’s head he (the Headless Horseman) chopped off. She truly believes he got another girl with a bow in her hair.
