I love Fall/Halloween in Idaho. There is plenty to do, everything from corn mazes to haunted trails. We went to the straw maze earlier this month. It was a lot of fun but we ended up going in circles for the first 20 minutes and found the entrance 3 times. haha. We did go at night, so it was a little more challenging.
Next on our list of things to do was the Haunted Mill. The Teton Flour Mill was built in 1890 and was sold in 1997 to be used as the Haunted Mill. I remember going to t he Haunted Mill when I attended Ricks College and loved it. We had arranged for a babysitter for Rachel and Ellie because they get freaked out pretty easy. Rachel insisted she wanted to go and so we let her. Ellie didn't want to be left behind, so we decided that if she got too scared we would just sit out with her, or take her out. I think she was being brave because Rachel and Jared were so excited to go. We got there and the line was something you would find at Disneyland. It was worth the wait. We had so much fun, we jumped, we screamed, and even the kids made it through. I'm glad we didn't leave any of the kids at home. It is something we will talk about and remember for MANY HALLOWEENS!

This is the Mill in the daytime.
The Mill at night...
This is an actual suspension bridge you have to cross over.
Hope you guys are enjoying Halloween as much as we are.

How fun!!! I always want to go to the spooky places, but no one will ever go with me...perhaps I'll drag you around with me everywhere next year!
That is one thing I'm glad I wasn't there for! lol
I don't remember hearing about that place. How come we never went when we were roommates? Bummer.
I'm glad you all had a good time and that you got all of your kiddos to go. What a fun family activity.
When you get a minute, will you please send me your address? You can either send it to me via FB or my email, rooberrydoo at yahoo. Thanks :)
