Haunted Habitats

Friday night we took Grant to the Haunted Habitats event hosted at the Runge Nature Center by the Missouri Department of Conservation. The theme this year was Missouri Animals A to Z. The goal of this event is to teach kids of all ages about nature. There were lots of games and prizes, a craft center, live music, hot cocoa, hot apple cider and delicious salty-sweet kettle corn.


The trails were all lit by camping lanterns and a multitude of hand carved jack-o’-lanterns!

Even the fire tower was decorated for the event!

We all had a good time. Even though Grant was a bit small to really get the most out of the event, we’ll be going back - it really seemed to put a smile on Grant's face!

He did this all on his own, albeit by accident the first time, but when Tim and I could hardly stop laughing it quickly became a game.
