"Spook"tacular evening

Since I can remember, I have always celebrated Halloween by going to a haunted house. I don't know why I go every year because I really do get incredibly scared. I am usually the one whose voice carries out into the parking lot, the one who gets followed by the monsters/villians for extra scare practice, and the one who gets put to the front of the line so my friends can get a good laugh at my screaming. But, every year I can't wait to go back. So, this year I decided to bring the boys along. We went to a town near Bloomington where they have a haunted house, an optical illusion ride, a hay rack ride, and all-you-can-eat hotdogs all for a $2 a person. Yep, for $10 ( we bought some glow in the dark bracelets for the kids) our family laughed, cried, screamed, and ate to hearts content!! The boys were scared out of their minds, but couldn't stop talking about the experience the rest of the night! It's like I always say...the family that screams together, stays together!! :) I think the Manahans have yet another family tradition!

Here are our pictures from this family bonding time:
