It's been a hectic day.
This morning, we stopped at Jack's for breakfast. They were shorthanded, so we had to wait longer than usual.
Then we rode to Franklin, TN, to their Pumpkinfest. There was no parking, so we had to pay $10 to park.

| Very Large Pumpkin |
It was extremely hot and crowded, so we only stayed for a short time. We walked down Main Street and a couple of side streets. Several bands were playing music. Mums and Pumpkins decorated the street. Food filled the air. There were rides and fun for the Children.
Hubby collected a bag of treats, which we gave to the grandkids.

| Williamson County's First Taxi |
Our big treat was finding the Williamson County Archives Museum. It featured several rows of quilts made by locals, a Military Room, a Display of Williamson County's history, Civil War Artifacts, an Old Schoolroom, a Doctor's Office, a Dress Shop, a Barber Shop, a Country Store, and more. We also saw a horse-drawn carriage by Harry March in Franklin's First Taxi.
We saw where the body of a headless Col Shy once lay in a busted open casket. An article, The Curious Case of Col Shy's Casket. The headless body was unidentified.
Outside was a Civil War cannon.

We stopped at Publix in Spring Hill to get some chicken wings from their deli and pick up a few other items.
We stopped in Lawrenceburg at Long Silvers for a plate of fish and chicken.
Came home and ate a late lunch.

| Fun Began in Halloween Manor |
 |
| Criminals |
 |
| Ava, the killer Jason Voorhees, and the Evil Clown Pennywise |
Picked up Ava and River around 4:30 and took them to Killen Park for their Trunk n Treat.
Ava dressed up like Wednesday from the Adams Family, and River was a Ninja Turtle.
We arrived early, so we let them play in the playground area. When people started lining up, we got in line.
There was a long line behind us. We walked through the gate of Halloween Manor, and that is when the fun began.
The kids received lots of candy, a fireman's hat, coloring books, and safety books. They got their pictures taken with Inflatable pumpkins, at the Shriners Hillbilly Jeep, with Hocus Pocus, with the Department of Eye Care, Jason Voorhees, and Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

| Making Slime |
Their Treats end with making Slime. Put in a bag and taken home.
They did a great job by allowing only a few kids at a time to enter the park.
The kids had a great time.
