- Buy and eat tons of "monster cereal" (FrankenBerry, CountChocula, and BooBerry). This is the only time of year we buy this cereal, and it makes the Halloween season that much more fun!
- Square Pumpkins from Arctic Circle. We love getting square pumpkins during Halloween time! As soon as we see the marquee go up that they are available, we get excited to see what Halloween toy they have this year!
- Watch all of the family-friendly Halloween or "spooky" movies we can get our hands on. Movies at the top of our list include Gremlins, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, and Labyrinth.
- Take a drive to see the Fall leaves, and collect a few for a centerpiece in our house. A few of our favorite places to see the leaves include Emigration Canyon, and by Cascade Springs. A fun time to do this is during the Homestead Scarecrow Festival! We take the Alpine Loop, stop at Cascade Springs, follow the loop around to Midway and Heber, then stop at The Homestead for lunch/dinner and to see the scarecrows!
- Find cool graves in a cemetery, or visit a ghost town. This is such a fun and cool photo opportunity! Use online photo editing software to create cool effects!
- Visit the witches and all of the other fun things going on at Gardner Village. For us, the Halloween season doesn't really start until we've done the scavenger hunt!

I like that you only eat cereal @ this time of year. I think that's a fun tradition - plus who doesn't like boo berrys?
ReplyDeletethanks for giving me ideas. This time of year isn't my favorite cause I DREAD winter but these things sound fun.
