Haunted Museum

We had another crazy Saturday this weekend!  We started off with Rylan's soccer game (which included his team party afterwards because it was his last game of the season), then Carter's soccer game, then the Haunted Museum downtown, then Carter had a birthday party to attend, and then Brian and I went out to dinner while Ashely and Carter watched our kids.  All these things were back-to-back but we made it to them all.  We were all worn out on the way home last night - both boys passed out in the car after just a few minutes.

Carter actually had two birthday parties after his soccer game to go to but he also really, really wanted to do the Haunted Museum at the Tennessee State Museum that we did last year.  So we decided to do a short trip to the museum and then go to the later party which we'd still miss part of.

The boys got to dress up in the Halloween costumes for the Haunted Museum.  Brian and I had to finish up Carter's costume yesterday morning too before we left (as well as make the cupcakes for Rylan's soccer party) which made our day even more hectic.  But I think it turned out great.  Life would be a little less hectic if someone made a Lego guy costume but homemade ones are always cool.  And Rylan is obviously a Ninja Turtle!

Apparently we went to the museum a lot later than we did last year because it wasn't nearly as crowded.  That helped us move through the museum a lot quicker.

There were lots of fun games for the kids and they won little prizes after each game.  Carter's range of motion was a little limited for the "throw the spider in the cauldron" game.

Amazing he stayed on his feet for the limbo!!!

I was very surprised that Carter was able to sit down without too much difficulty!  The boys stopped to listen to a few ghost stories along the way.

And made a few crafts.

Unfortunately Carter and I were able to stay only about 30 minutes (Brian and Rylan stayed a little longer) but we had to park pretty far away and there just wasn't enough time.  The boys still had fun and were super happy that we went.  Carter's costume got tons of compliments too!
