Yesterday Vero and I went with Trish, Jennie and Sebastien to Kingston to check out Fort Fright (otherwise known as Fort Henry outside the month of October) and Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village.
Even though I have driven past Kingston a few times and visited Eric and Annie as well, I had never been downtown. It’s a great little spot and we stumbled onto a farmers market where I picked ip some pickles and lemon pie!
Fort Fright was pretty good. They have the entire Fort spookified with animatronic zombies, real life zombies jumping out and scaring you and some excellent video projections showing zombies scrambling up the fort walls. Let’s not forget the zombie roller derby girls!
Next up was a trip down the 401 to Upper Canada Village. We were running pretty late…we arrived at 9:30 and the place shuts down at 10:00. But we managed to see it all and it was fabulous! They have incredible pumpkin carvings lit up along a trail…Egyptian settings, deep sea diving, giant moose (meese?)…I definitely think this is a great thing to bring the family to. It’s only an hour away from Ottawa so it makes for a great evening out.
