Morning all you super book readers! 🙂 I am in the midst of the Dewey’s 24 Hour Read a Thon… more on that 
throughout the day. 🙂
What I want to talk about this morning is the Haunted Acres I went to last night in St Cloud with three of my friends! My friends Cindy and Heidi both have birthdays in October. We do monthly get togetheres so we dont grow apart (we all used to work together – heidi, Cindy, Sara, and myself). We each have a month we are responsible for to plan something. It can be anything – a dinner, bike ride, movie, dancing, whatever.
October was my pick and I wanted to do something really fun so we went to St Cloud and had dinner at Mongo’s. We love that place! Then we shopped a little bit (I got some great boots!) and then we went to Moliter’s haunted Acres! This is something we have wanted to do for a couple of years and it was really fun and really scary!
The first thing we do is go on a hay ride where we are on this trailer pulled by a tractor through these woods. We have to all sit still and we are not allowed to take pictures. Every spooky dude you can imagine jumps out at us throughout this ride – Freddy Krueger, Jason, Chucky (Chucky really creeps me out!)… we even have a headless horse man come down the trail on a beautiful white horse…. all glowing like.
After the ride we go through a series of buildings like a mine shaft, a maze, butchers house, and a field of corn… this was pretty scary and we ran through a lot of it. Not sure I have screamed so much in my life. It was a BLAST! Then as we were leaving, the Ghostbusters pulled up and of course being the 80’s girls that we are we jumped right on that and had pictures taken with the car and even a Ghostbuster (who we could have used as an escort earlier to keep the scary bad guys away…LOL).
Overall a fantastically fun evening! Ok… Back to the challenge…. 😉

Cool! I can just hear you now—Who’re you gonna call? Ghostbusters!—at the top of your lungs.
Hi Laurel, since we couldnt take pictures in the actually Haunted Acres the Ghost Buster thing was timely! What was funny was the younger people (teens) didnt seem all that excited about it. We joked that they may not even know Ghostbusters… ha ha
I am looking forward to reading your comments today. This is my first Read-A-Thon and am new at this. I would love to be part of a book club that has been together for so long. I am part of a book club and it’s really hard to keep it going at times. Happy reading!
Hi Kiki! Thanks for stopping! I know… I just did the math on my group a couple months ago when it hit me that this would be our 100th meeting. I have been lucky with this group and they are so fun!
Best of luck with your reading.
Thanks Esme! 🙂 You too!
This sounds like so much fun Sheila!! I’ve not ever been one for haunted houses and stuff but the hay ride sounds like fun! I just can’t get over how fake everything is when I go to stuff like this.
Enjoy your reading!! Great MM this morning! 🙂
Hi Julie J… it was really scary and we ran through a lot of it. I dont think I have screamed so much in my life. 🙂 We like to do unique things for great memories but standing in line to get in I was thinking “What did I get myself into?” LOL
Hi Shelia,
When you take a break, come over to my blog…I have a surprise for you!
Sharon
Hi Sharon! So good to see you! I will be right over.
Good luck with the challenge and Haunted Acres looks like a blast!!
Thanks Zia – it was pretty fun. This group of girls and I have had a lot of fun adventures, staying overnight in mansions, murder mysteries, campfires, pig racing, weekends at the cabin, Wisconsin Dells, plays, shopping weekends, even my tattoo in April (LOL)… bu this is the first time we ran for our lives!!!!
