October Family Fun!

It's October 1st in Washington DC, and even though the government has "shutdown", Viva Mom Vegas is still going strong bringing you all the awesome Vegas events for October!

I love October, the craziness of school has settled down, the air is cooler, and the excitement and joy of the holidays are near!  The kids' Halloween costumes have already been purchased (thank you to my mother in law for her kind contribution) and I will have a cute Pirate Jake and Tinkerbell to show off soon enough!

Free Events:

Saturday, October 5th Home Depot Kid's Workshop (Fire Rescue plane project) 9 am- noon, register at www.homedepot.com/workshops

Saturday, October 12th Lowe's Build and Grow (Spooky Stacker project) 10 am, register at www.lowesbuildandgrow.com

Saturday, October 19th Free Kid's Day at Discovery Children's Museum!  First 1000 kids 17 and under will be admitted free to the children's museum starting at 10 am.  Adult fee is $12.00

Saturday, October 19th 10 am - 2pm Community Safety Saturday Spring Valley HS 3750 S Buffalo.  Car seat inspections, safety demonstrations, free fingerprint kits for kids.

Saturday, Octboer 19th  10 am - 2 pm  Ward 2 Trunk or Treat/Car Show, Veteran's Memorial Leisure Services Center 101 N Pavilion Center Drive (Summerlin), free fun activities for kids plus Trunk or Treating through the cars on display!

Saturday, October 26th 10 am - 2pm.  Halloween Spooktacular free event for all ages at NW Career and Technical Academy 8200 W. Tropical.  Trick or Treating, Costume Contest, crafts, and more.

Inexpensive Fall Fun:

October 11-13, 18-20, 25-27  5:00 pm-9:00 pm Springs Preserve Haunted Harvest, trick or treat stations, crafts, carnival games, entertainment, haunted house, etc.  This is one of the best events in Las Vegas!  We love going to this every year!  Admission $8 for adults, $5 for kids, 5 under free.  Members receive 1/2 off!
**If you go to this event, GO EARLY so you can get a better parking spot.  I also recommend getting advanced tickets from their website www.springspreserve.org (they charge $1 fee for each online ticket).
If the Spring's lot is full, park at Meadow's Mall and walk across the street.

Stu Miller's Pumpkin Patch (various lots around LV, including Centennial Center and Flamingo/215), they have a few kiddie rides, bounce houses, and slides along with a petting zoo that is fun for kids to do.  Buying a mini pumpkin here won't break the bank, plus it's cool to go to the "Pumpkin Patch" when you're little!  Their website is www.seasonaladventures.com for more info.  They also offer preschool field trips so mom groups can take their little ones for a small flat fee for (last year it was $6 per child). I'm guessing they will be open by this weekend (Oct 4).

Saturday, October 5th 1:00-3:00 pm, Michael's Great Pumpkin Event, purchase a 9" pumpkin for $5 and use their supplies to decorate it!

Saturdays in October, Michael's Kid's Club 10:00-11:30 pm (can sign up for a class every 30 min), $2 per child, register in-store.  October 12-Bandana Masks, October 19-Duck Tape Costumes, October 26-Treat Bag/Face Painting/Parade.

**I was not able to find any info on a "Treat Street" or other safe trick or treating venue for October 31st, so please comment or email me if you know of anything going on so I can update this post!  I know many churches also sponsor "Trunk or Treat" events, so please share so everyone can provide safe Halloween fun for their little monsters!
