This is the story of a very driven six-year-old (at the time) that loves Halloween and wants more candy. Seraphine's idea was to find all the places that had Halloween decorations and hopefully the more decorations meant that there was more Halloween loot to be had. She asked Dad how that could be done. Dad showed some basics, but got told quickly, "I got this" by Seraphine. It rapidly became a family favorite activity as it exposed the kids to different places in and around Marshfield. All data collected was collected by the kids during the Month of October of 2025, with the Story Map being designed and told by Seraphine. Parents were as hands off as we could be. There were tears and frustrations but she: pushed past it, created work arounds, and was happier and wiser for it. It was so talked about at school by Seraphine that other kids at school want to do it next year. This project encouraged more kids to explore their world by asking questions and making observations.
