Well, the BIG night finally arrived. Witch's Night Out at Gardner Village. I could NOT BELIEVE how many women were running around in tall hats, flowing capes and pointy toed shoes! There looked like there were thousands of us. I know there had to be more than one thousand. It was such FUN!!! The decorations were world class. I especially loved the BIG orange britches on a witch playing baseball. Hilarious!! We decided to make it a tradition and are hoping to be able to take some of our other family members and friends with us next year.There was great live music with a very talented D.J.. Women (yeah, us too) were dancing, waving their arms in the air, and singing unselfconsciously, though often off tune, to a little Bruce Springsteen. There were fortune tellers, and and old time photo booth. We had "fairy kisses" pressed on our cheeks, 20 - 40% off coupons tucked in our hands, and spider rings placed on our fingers as we traveled in and out of the crowded shops. We even had a chance encounter with the one and only Jack Sparrow... well, at least she really looked like the one and only Jack Sparrow. Of course there were carmel apples (at four bucks a pop), hot soup in bread bowls, cackling laughter, and fabulous witches EVERYWHERE!
Gardner Village has great shops and it's always a treat to both play and purchase there. But last night was really a very good time! I recommend it highly to anyone who could find a way to put in on their October calendar next year.

I LOVE all your hats! You guys are so creative! However, I do believe the Johnny Depp look-alike is my favorite.
looks like you had lots of fun! your daughter looks much taller than you-must have gotten your husband's genes. And now you still have halloween to go but you are prepared. cute costumes and unscary witches.
Oh, this just has to become a tradition...what a lark!
Those are two very glam witches. What fun!
What great costumes! Good job!
What a hoot!!!
It reminded me of a book that we read in school in October; Danger at Sneaker Hill
It is about witches and spells.
It's a kid book.
What a great tradition! The costumes are first-rate.
Please check out my latest blog entry, Caryn. In it I comment on one of your recent blog entries. I want you to see that you and Anne Lindbergh both made a deep impression on me with your comments.
It looks like it was terrific fun. I had friends who went to Gardner Village but their little ones were freaked out by all the witches. Sounds like a wonderful time for the grown ups though.
Oh..what fun you had and you always describe everything so well. I love the photo of you and your beautiful daughter...
These are so much fun! I love the Johnny Depp witch!
