Halloween Party!

Our annual Halloween party was Friday and it was the biggest yet! The activity room was transformed into a zombie world with a "Costume Idol" stage mixed into it! The food was outstanding, thanks to all that brought a dish! We had games to participate in all over the room like the Creepy Feely game, Candy Corn Guessing game, mini pumpkin decorating and even a Scarecrow decorating game, caregivers VS management! Caregivers were the winners by applause! Everyone looked great in their costumes, it was hard to tell who was who! We had the contest but everyone was a winner and received a candy bag to take home! It was a great time, looking forward to the Christmas party coming up before we know it!

Hayride!

Over the past few days, we have been making trips to the Montrose Orchard! The first day was a little warmer then the other but there was no rain so that was ok with us! After the hayride we had some donuts and cider which is always a plus! Can't believe it's that time of year already!

Beautiful day for a hayride! Look at all the apples!
