Where, oh where has our Witchy-Poo gone?
This past weekend our family visited Gardner Village in West Jordan, Utah to the see their annual display of witches.
There’s Emma getting cozy with a witch. She decided to sit for a spell. (I know, I know, I couldn’t help myself.)
Even the witches can’t hang up their phones. At least she wasn’t flying and texting, like this next witch.
She was my son’s favorite this year. You can’t see her eyes from this angle, but they look like cartoon concussion eyes, you know the spiral.
I say his favorite this year, because his annual favorite, “Witchy Poo” was nowhere to be found. She was a witch sitting in an outhouse reading the newspaper. Do you see why she appealed to my 3rd grade boy? She always sent Ben into a fit of laughter. We looked all over for Witchy Poo and concluded she wasn’t around this year. Maybe she finally discovered a good laxative potion. But we’lll miss her, especially Ben.
My husband’s favorite was still around. She is fishing with dynamite. Something about that really appeals to him. Is it the fishing? Or the dynamite? Or both?
We look forward to seeing the witches every year. And one of the best parts of visiting the Gardner Village Witches is that it’s free. It doesn’t get more “Make it Do” than that.
I hope you and your family can find your way to a wonderful free activity this Halloween.
Witchy Poo is there. They moved her over by the Christmas decoration’s store down a narrow path leading to the parking lot. If you blink….you’ve missed her. The path is so narrow it’s hard to take a decent picture of her with the kids in front of the outhouse. Although…. in her private moment….why do we feel the need to take a picture of our kids in front of her anyways? :)
Dang! Don’t tell my kids or they will want to go back! Next year we will look harder. cheers, Calli
This is one of our family’s favorite outings in the fall! There are so many fun things to see and great places to take pictures. The only problem is, I want to check out all of the stores while I’m there and my children don’t (unless it’s the toy shop or the candy shop). I need to go back with some girl friends to look around myself.
oh :( we will def. be missing the witchy poo too!!! We’re actually going with all the cousins and grandparents on halloween this year. I love the witches!!!
YAY I just read up and saw that she’s still there, i’m glad I looked here 1st!
Okay, this might be kind of weird, but I thought I saw you yesterday at Garner Village yesterday! I know, you’re thinking “who is this crazy stalker???” and I don’t blame you, but I have been following your blog for a while and I love it. In fact here is an adorable outfit I made for my baby that I put on my blog, thanks to you and your great ideas!

Hi Desiree, That was us. I love going on a Sunday, because it’s not so crowded, and you can good pictures. I don’t think you’re a stalker. I loved the picture of your daughter, the outfit was perfect. I wish you all the best. cheers, Calli
