I told Tami that this Halloween Weekend was the very bestest ever!
She said, “Maxx, you say that every year.”
Well they DO get better every time. And lots of our campers said so, too!
Debbie and the kids did a lot of cool Halloween stuff Friday. They even made some lake monsters to help decorate for Saturday’s party
On Saturday, all the kids and I could think about was Candy, candy, CANDY! But Tami said we couldn’t start trick or treating till 6:30PM . . . sharp . . .
So we went to Arts and Crafts.
And the water balloon slingshot.
After lunch, I asked Tami what time it was, and she said it wasn’t time yet. Soooooo . . .
we played relay games and entered in the scary scavenger hunt!
I was about to call Tami on the radio to see what time it was, when Debbie announced the Witch’s Brew Eating contest!
Look Ma, no hands!!!
Until it’s time to lick the plate, anyway . . .
When it was all over, I hunted for Tami and asked if it was time to get my trick or treat bag out yet. She said we had to have supper first.
I groaned and rubbed my belly. “It’s not spaghetti, is it?”
Finally, it was time! We all got into our Halloween costumes and showed up at the office. Tami loooooves seeing everybody before we get going. We listened carefully for The Official Trick or Treating Rules
until fiiiiii-nally, Tami said, “Go!”
We had so much fun going site to site
Some of Tami’s campers said they gave out over 150 pieces of candy!
Can you believe it??
We didn’t want it to end, but there was a costume party at the lake and we didn’t want to be late for that!
I saw lots of my camping friends down there getting tattoos and tossing bean bags through the ghost holes
and playing cool games like tic-tac-toe toss, eyeball golf or the inner tube toss. Some friends headed straight for Terry and Joanne’s snack table, ’cause they were hungry after all that walking site to site to site to site . . .
What a bunch of cool costumes my camping buddies wore! There was a Lego Block, Dracula’s Bride, Angel Kitty, cowboys and a
Cowgirl with her cowdog. There were ghosts
and bumblebees
magicians, ghouls, goblins, princesses, Darth Vader, fairies, Power Rangers, kings, Super Heros, 70′s guy
and pumpkin girl
Don’t you love the green teeth???
After the party, I asked Tami what was next.
“The Haunted House,” she said.
“Are you going in?” I asked.
“I’ve . . . got to work. Yeah – work. In the office. It’s a busy night, you know.”
“But Henry’s closing the store tonight. C’mon! It’s not real monsters, you know. Just some guys in costumes.”
Tami shook her head and backed away. “No, no. That’s okay. I think I hear Henry calling me – ”
Ha! I think she’s scared of David’s Haunted House. Maybe I’ll get her to go in this weekend, when we do Halloween all over again!!
