Scarowinds

So last night, against my better parental judgment, we took the boys to Scarowinds. And it scared the wind (and other things) right out of Ryan. I knew he would not like it, but he kept insisting he really wanted to go, so rather than have the fight, I thought we would go and let him learn the hard way. Now I am not a big fan of Halloween. I'm not one of those adults that enjoys dressing up and all that. And I don't like haunted houses and people jumping out at you. And that pretty much sums up Scarowinds. We did one haunted house and Ryan said "Next stop, the parking lot!"
Him and I shuffled through that house so fast, I think we left another trail of Smoke. Sam seemed okay with it, although he did not argue about leaving. Later that night Ryan told me that it was my job to make sure that he did not do things that were inappropriate for his age. I swear, he used those exact words. Live and Learn, Boys, Live and Learn.

So this is our "Ghost in the Graveyard Brownies" that we made for the Cub Scout Cake Auction. Your cake had to be Halloween themed, and the money they earn goes to a charity. I thought we did pretty well, but these people take this way seriously, so who knows.
