The bad weather this past weekend prevented a trip to our beach house in Bay Head, New Jersey, and the on and off rain kept us indoors most of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We did, however, manage to get out on Saturday afternoon for lunch at Redwoods and a visit to Country Nursery in Chester, NJ.
On Saturdays and Sundays in October, kids can tiptoe through the spooky Halloween maze (if you dare!) and participate in free pumpkin painting from 11am to 3pm. Our family has tried the Halloween maze several years in a row, and each year London and Maddie chicken out when the monsters tell them to “turn back!”
While Rex and I picked out some small pumpkins for our fence posts and ended up buying an evergreen tree, London and Maddie got started painting and decorating their pumpkins.
