We wanted to pass it on because whether you have little ones, medium sized ones or no kids at all there is something on this list for you to do this weekend.  The Morbid Anatomy Party definitely peaks our interest, as does the Pumpkin Smashing a week after Halloween at Red Hook Farm.  Take a look at the list and see if you’d like to attend any of these fun events!
