A Halloween Family Outing


Four years ago we went to the Great Pumpkin Blaze an Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, Callum was a baby then - we went again last night.

I like doing things that mark the season, can become a tradition and will form family memories - so I had bought tickets for us to go to the Great Pumpkin Blaze.  Tere are over 5000 pumpkins that have been carved and which have candles lit in them so that they "blaze" all night.

We had a wonderful evening - it did not rain; although we did have to put on jackets and scarves as the temperature has begun to drop and it is getting chillier at night.  It was a great opportunity for the boys to get some hot chocolate and a cookie.

This event is quite popular in the Hudson Valley, you can only purchase tickets on line and you need to be quick about it.   When I had discussed it with Gerard - two hours later when we had made a decision the original date and time we wanted was gone.

In the future, I would like to try some of the events in Sleepy Hollow - if you live nearby I wold recommend coming to the Hudson Valley area and enjoying our various events.
