Going to a pumpkin patch during the fall months is a tradition for many families in our area. It is a long-awaited day for my kids too. As soon as the leaves to change colors I hear the question, "When are we going to the pumpkin patch?"

🎃 The verdict after one of our Macaroni KID families took four kids costume shopping at Spirit Halloween?

Make the trip part of the Halloween fun.

Their crew included a 6-year-old obsessing over Fortnite accessories, a 9-year-old finding her witch costume, two teenagers piecing together totally different looks with their friends, and all six of them stopping approximately every 30 seconds to look at something else. 😂

They found plenty for every age, from tiny toddler costumes all the way up through adult looks. And between the costumes, accessories, décor and animatronics, there was plenty to explore even after everyone had decided what they wanted to be.

If you want to turn costume shopping into an actual spooky-season outing instead of just another errand, this is a fun one. 👻

Thank you, Spirit Halloween, for hosting this Macaroni KID crew and helping them officially kick off Halloween season!
