Daniel Stoowen Research Paper

Walking up to the beautiful and luxurious house, you could smell the scent of roses and the welcome the birds give you to invite in the morning. The massive garden filled with wildlife and fountains along with many other treasures making it one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. The gardens are layered with snow during winter with horse drawn carriages to take a midnight ride in and during the fall they are covered with decorations and offer a prize for the best costume during the October days; these fun times are what makes this place so magical to not just me but for everyone. The bunnies are hopping and the birds are chirping telling you it’s spring. Spring is wonderful and the best part is Easter and of course Daniel Stowe
Even though I have not participated in the Halloween costume contest, I do enjoy getting scared out of my mind by monsters and ghosts. Anytime during the month of October you can have so much fun but personally I have always enjoy the time around Halloween because they have trick-or-treaters, games, and the haunted gardens. What I most enjoy is the catapult pumpkin game; when you arrive at the building they give you a pumpkin and you can paint it or carve it or if you are crazy you can go and smash it.

Back at the main house they brought me coffee or hot chocolate(of my choice) while I drank I listen to the beautiful pianist play Jingle Bells and Rock Around The Christmas Tree. They even let you dance in the miniature ballroom.
