First Halloween Event

Friday afternoon, we had our first Halloween event at the "not-so-spooky haunted house" at the Magic House. This event was sponsored by WUMCHA, and as always, we had a good time. There really wasn't any haunted house to speak of, spooky or not, but they did have staff members dressed up as different characters stationed around the museum that handed out treats. Lily wore her koala costume to this event. This is the first time that Lily has been able to pick out her own costume. Of course, she chose something unusual so we had to piece together a costume, but I think that it turned out pretty well. Naturally, she loved the face painting. A koala face was a challenge for me, but I did the best that I could. Most people guessed that she was a koala. Although, some thought she was a cat or a mouse.

The sports ball guessing game. I was really impressed when Lily knew the tennis ball right away.

This area has three pulley systems: one with two pulleys, another with four, and a final one with six pulleys to feel how an increased number of pulleys makes for easier work. Unfortunately, Lily really liked the one with two pulleys. She wasn't really concerned about effort needed to pull her up since she had me as her work horse.
