Halloween Happenings

The family stopped by for a little Halloween fun. Cameron and Jackson sang the Spiderman song and spread their webs. Morgan had fun handing out treats and Hallie just wanted to eat them! Carly, with bumble bee Carson, came home for the weekend and had fun seeing her nieces and nephews in costume. Cameron and Rachelle brought up the pumpkin they had carved. Notice the 'N' ears for Nebraska? Kaylie had a few friends over and watched some old scary movies. Wait until Dark, and Watcher in the Woods. They all screamed when Mick scared them at the most intense parts of the movies. We talked to Jennifer and Jared and girls on Skipe. We were able to see the girls in their cute costumes.




Last week for Family Home Evening one of Mick's student's invited us to her family's Halloween Party. It was a walk through a "Haunted Lane" This family has been doing this for the past 8 years. We parked in a field close to their house. We than walked down a lane that had a grave yard, various monsters walking around, a horse drawn hearse from around 1860 time period and a 1924 hand carved Hearse. The main theme of the haunted lane was funeral home and graveyard. They also had an antique organ and little train village. They also had an antique carousel ride with 1941 Chrysler peddle cars. This had little monsters riding in it. It is hard to really describe all that we saw. The desire for this family is to create an old fashion Halloween feeling. We really felt that and enjoyed our 30 minute walk around the property. They told us that they had given out 800 invitations. Mick's student had only invited 2 teachers. We felt very lucky to have been invited. It was a lot of fun. One of the monsters did a good job making Kaylie Scream!
