It’s time to say Aloha to the summer and welcome in the Fall. Last year we watched Summer Magic and kicked off the Fall of Festivities. However, this year, we are kicking off the Morrills Spookfest 2011. And to start us off we found a classic. Does anyone remember this TV show from the 90’s on Nickelodeon? 
Yup, I found them on DVD for super cheap!! So we put, the kids to bed, grabbed some slurpees: 
and got ready for a scary night of campfire stories: 
Submitted for the approval of the midnight society: 
These episodes used to really scare me when I was younger and Matt makes fun of me now. So after our mini-marathon we sat down and wrote out a list of activities to celebrate Spookfest 2011. Beginning September 1 and ended October 31, here are some of the things we have planned. Please feel free to join in on any of the spooky fun.
We will be going on a full moon chair lift ride at Sundance on September 14th.
Our bi-annual trip up to General Conference.
We will be having a Psych part on October 15th.
We are going to Thriller on October 14th in SLC.
We will be going to the play Hotel Frankenstein in Lindon.
We are going up to Gardner Village to get spooked by the witches, and get lost and turned around in Cornbelly’s Maze.
We can’t forget Nephi’s good old “Halloweentown".
A Pumpkin Carving contest.
Night games including No Bears Are Out Tonight.
Campfires and stories.
Fall pictures up the canyon.

Oh man I am so excited!!! It's going to be great. The fall is my favorite time of the year and this Spookfest is going to make it even better!! Of course Abby, you left one thing out: Gathering cattle off the forest. It's intense and scary to see if we can get them all off before the snow falls.
HOLY GUACAMOLE! How do you have time for this?! I'm overwhelmed just reading it! We'd love to join for all but will probably have to be happy with some! Knowing that.. what do you recommend for my age chickens?
I would definately recommend Hotel Frankenstein for your chickens Verena. It is cheap and should be a fun time!! Plus any of the spooky dinners and movies and of course - PSYCH
I love the fall season and the smell, but you have exausted me just with all that stuff you have planned, I almost feel overwhelmed by it. (It could also be that it is 12:45 am) so I guess I should get off of here. by the way I found and awesome website that has halloween stuff I think you would like.
I found it on pinterest.

I hope you have a good time making this stuff.
I love the Spooky dinners! Mummy enchiladas oh ya! Nice....sounds like my kind of party!
That's a lot of stuff, we will not want for something to do. I also love the fall. You didn't mentions just driving up the canyon to look at the pretty leaves in the mountains. That can be a Sunday activity.
