Sleepy Hollow


We had quite a fun little getaway this weekend, heading 110 miles east to the foothills of Oak Glen, one of Southern California's big apple-producing regions. Riley's Farm has apples, historical reenactments, and dinner theater productions.  

We attended a Friday night showing of Sleepy Hollow; our evening started with a spooky hayride with Ichabod Crane on board! Colleen, Rigo and the their kids came, too.
We then got our first course (soup) and drinks, and watched Act One of the play.
In between acts, we took part in fun family activities, including pumpkin carving. Liana and Violet were a team...
...and Cora and Lucas were another team.
Riley's version of apple-bobbing involved an apple on a string, and a one-minute time limit.
And there was square-dancing! Cora was excited about this, getting to use her skills learned in the 7th grade P.E. dancing unit, and on 4th grade Gold Rush Day.


There was also a pumpkin-pie-eating contest, and Cora was brave enough to take part.

Rigo tried out in the adult competition.
We then watched the second act of the show, went outside to watch the headless horseman ride past, and then went back in for the finale. Very cute show, which we all enjoyed.
It was so wonderful to have a normal-feeling evening with friends and a show and a dinner. 

We then all went to our hotel in Banning for the night.
