I can't believe that October is almost 1/2 way over there is so much to do before Halloween pumpkin picking, Carving, Costumes, Parties, Spooky movies, stories, and Haunted Hayrides.
In the past (before we were parents) we used to go to a few Haunted Hayrides every season and now that our little one is old enough to attend some of the less scary events I am pretty psyched.
The list that follows are some spooky and haunted happenings leading up to Halloween
Hauntings-on-the-Hudson: Make It A Sleepy Hollow October
Begin with the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze in October, when Van Cortlandt Manor comes to life by the light of 3,000 artfully-carved jack-o'-lanterns arranged in different scenarios, including a bottom-of-the-sea aquarium and a scarecrow avalanche. Then, over Halloween weekend, just 10 minutes south in Sleepy Hollow, the tale of the headless horseman who rode through the grounds of Philipsburg Manor in The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow
, written by Washington Irving, is celebrated with the area's most popular Halloween event Legend Weekend.
For younger Children try the Legend Weekend Days:
