Halloween at Crossroads Village

Sunday we drove to Genesee, to visit Linda and Mike for a while then go to Crossroads Village to see Uncle Richard and to ride the Huckleberry Railroad.  The kids got to dress up in their Halloween costumes, which they loved! Asher is a ninja this year, and Avery is Cleopatra. And Asher lost his third tooth, as we were walking into the house.

After taking a few wrong turns (note: don't let Mike navigate) we arrived at Crossroads Village about half an hour before our train ride. We were going to do a little trick-or-treating first, and dropped by Richard's venue.

There were about 20 different places to trick or treat, but our tickets were for the 1:40 train, so we had to make sure to get there in time. 

I was pretty impressed with the train ride! There were lots of things to see along the way, and the colors were at their peak.  The view from the tressels and over Mott Lake were beautiful. The ride was about half an hour long, and we even saw Aunt Linda, who had parked along Genesee Rd to wave at us as we went by. 

After our train ride, we saw a magic show (which thoroughly impressed Asher) and finished trick-or-treating.  Back at the Hawkses, we ate homemade chicken noodle soup and apple crisp as the kids played x-box with Michael and Jamie watched the NASCAR race. 

All in all, a very fun day! We're hoping to make it back down for Christmas. :)
