Today we went to Salem, Ma for the Haunted Happenings. We had a lot of fun. We walked the streets of downtown Salem. Went into a few gift shops and had lunch in the mall. We got to hang out with a witch on the street.

Here we are at the Pirate museum. We took some pictures with the wax pirates.











Then the girls took a picture with the real pirates. They even let Heather hold a gun!
















We also went to the Witch Dungeon Museum. While we waited for the museum to open we hung out in some restraints. Inside the museum we watched a reenactment of a witch trial that was really neat to watch.

We also went to the witch history museum. We got lots of pictures of the museums but really to much to put on. We had a lot of fun and of course there was not enough time to check out all the museums. But the positive thing is that we had such a good time and can look forward to going next year to check out more. It was a great family day!!!

Corn Maize

This weekend I was trying to find something fallish to do as a family. We looked things up on the computer and decided to go to a corn maize. Heath and I have never been to one and thought it would be pretty cool. There were two listen in NH (one in Alton and one in Conway) we decided that we would go to the one in Alton. We arrived got our tickets and headed out to the corn field. It was great fun. Julia of course said I am not going in if there are any scarecrows in the field. It took us a little over an hour to go through 2 times. It was a great family adventure.

Poems

Good morning all, I know that I have not posted a blog in a while and I would like to start back up. I would like to let you all know that my Theresa has started writing poetry. Some of you may remember that I have wrote a few poems myself and have had a couple published in a collection of poetry book through poetry.com. The following poem is a poem that Theresa wrote and gave to her English Teacher just to read it was not an assignment.

You Know and You Don't Know
You know you're doing this to me.
But do you know that you're doing this to
yourself too?
So keep in mind what you know
and what you don't know.

This is the comment wrote back by her English teacher:
You say a lot here with very few words! The way you repeat certain words gives them extra emphasis-it definitely makes your poem stronger. Nice work

She also received a Commendation Notice for this poem for sharing a very thought provoking poem.

I am so very proud of Theresa and her poetry writing. She has wrote several poems that were really good. Guess there is another thing that makes her just like me!
