Frighteningly Fun Time

We had fun at Magic Mountain on Saturday, starting with Stace's work's company picnic in the special picnic area on the side of the park.

After eating lunch and NOT winning any raffle prizes - we're on a roll with that, year after year - the girls played the games. Here they're showing off the candy they picked up off the lawn in a version of an Easter Egg hunt.

And, the sack race was exhausting!

Stace played a bit of an underhanded game.

With the picnic on an October weekend, we were able to stick around for Fright Fest. Well, Violet went off to spend time with Grandpa, but the rest of us had a frightful evening.

Before that, though, Violet finally got to ride Gold Rusher, because she's hit that all-important 48-inch mark.

We would have tried some more "big" rides, but with Fright Fest on, it was very crowded and the lines were all long. We'll have to go back on a weekday after school so Violet can ride some big rides.

Later, Kelly, Yass, Jake and Charlie joined us. They'd never attended Fright Fest, and we all had a fabulous time together.

Everyone's favorite witch!

Lorraine Lurane entertained Kelly and Yass with her greatest lines, and some fun new material.

We made it around to most of the scare zones, and we did a couple of rides. It was so much fun!
