Halloween in the Fauna Garden

Yesterday we hosted a Halloween celebration in the Fauna Garden.  There were new faces and familiar faces, family and friends enjoying the garden and their community.

Many people, at one time or another throughout the afternoon, helped decorate the fence with lovely paintings.










(Pirate) Rebekah grilled some fresh veggies on the grill, including peppers from the garden!

 Some of the kids enjoyed bobbing for apples


(or swimming for apples?)

 We watched "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" outside in the garden.
We finished off the night with some music and singing (courtesy of Don Hall) and dancing inside.



What an amazing and wonderful Halloween celebration!
