What do you do when the afternoon is too rainy to get outside and play? Hop in the car and tour the town in search of the best Halloween decorations!

The kids loved the excitement as we loaded up in the rain and set out in search of maximum spookiness.

I had a few target neighborhoods in mind, and luckily they didn’t disappoint. Soon we saw everything from giant spiders to ghosts popping out of windows (!).

I couldn’t always get great pictures for safety reasons, but some made us laugh, like skeletons lounging on lawn chairs or little ghosts around a campfire.

Others were downright scary, like ghouls popping up from fake graveyards!

Needless to say, this was the perfect way to fill a rainy October afternoon.
