Parrot Betty digs in da bag for da goodies!<\/p><\/div>\n

At first I thought it an odd thing that the Mendenhall Visitors’ Center had a Halloween party for Juneau children to dress up in their costumes and come out and play.\u00a0 Like why the Visitor’s Center way out there by the Glacier?\u00a0 Once I got there, on this fine sunny day, I thought, well why not? – what a beautiful place to play!<\/p>\n

My granddaughter, Betty, kind of enjoyed herself.\u00a0 It was her naptime at 11am, so this event cut into her beauty sleep – yet she was still able to “bowl the bones”, “feed the bear”, “sneak a preview” , “blow a balloon” and “paint the\u00a0 apple.”\u00a0 There were more fun stations for the children to partake, but like I said, Betty was ready for her beauty sleep, so after an hour, we left just as the place with getting crowded with over 100 kids!<\/p>\n

Tony Tengs created the "peek-a-boo cave" - a miniature mysterious cave showing a small bubbling cauldron lake with spider webs and bones strewn about, lit up with a black light<\/p><\/div>\n

One at a time, Betty tossed 6 salmon into the bear's mouth - never missing the target!<\/p><\/div>\n

Betty painted the wooden apple stamp preparing to stamp her paper making a "block" print!<\/p><\/div>\n

Even though Betty received her doggie balloon, she watches Jeff continue to make a variety of balloon shapes<\/p><\/div>\n
