The Haunted Forest....

Last week, Kayston was able to earn 4 smiley faces at school. I'm pretty sure it would have been 5 but there was a sub one of the days and he didn't know about the smiley chart. So, for his "reward", Kayston decided he wanted to go to the Haunted Forest. I had asked some people and I heard that it was pretty scary and that it might not be a good idea to take him. I told him that it was super scary but that seemed to only get him more excited about it. So, last night we took our 5 year old to the Haunted Forest. Well, I ended up just taking him since it was going to cost $40.00 for just Preston and me. And since Preston's not a big fan of haunted houses anyway, he was happy to volunteer me to be the one to take him. Which was fine since I have always liked haunted houses. I was more worried about how Kayston was going to do and just hoping he didn't want me to carry him or something like that.

Well, he ended up LOVING it!! There was only a couple of times when he said he was scared and that's only because it was pitch black. He was so funny, there were some creepy clowns that were taunting us and Kayston was just laughing and telling them that he hated clowns and he wasn't scared of them. Even when they tried to chase us with their chain-saws he just laughed. Then there was this big sasquatch thing that was pretty scary looking and Kayston called him a "big stupid monkey man"! He would ask all the characters "who are you?" I couldn't believe this kid! I know that he doesn't get scared easily and that he LIKES scary stuff but I honestly didn't know what to expect with him going into this.

I had such a good time with my BRAVE little guy!! Thanks for being so brave and protecting mommy!!!
