Happy Halloween!

Hi everyone!

 I just waned to come on and wish you all a very happy Halloween! 

We had a great time with our Halloween Bash! It was great fun!!

I wanted to share a bit of it with you all. 

It started off on a bad note, when we woke the ground had been sprinkled with a dusting of snow! But the sun came out, melted it away and dried it all up! Which was awesome since we have a campout. The weather was fair a little windy but not too bad and the temp stayed above 35 degrees I believe the lowest it got was 37 we were lucky! One year we had snow and frost ended up retreating to the house about 5 am chilly!! lol And last year well it was cold and rainy but we braved it and stayed out sleeping beneath a large canopy tent! 

Every year seems to have its quarks, but we wouldn't change the memories for the world! This year the theme was Medieval Time now mind you everyone is very creative and some decided that if the costume had a sword it fit others believed they time travelled and that is how they arrived to be in this time! lol 

Anywhich way it is all in good fun and we all had a great time! Many costumes were hand mand a few were put together from store bought items. I had plenty of pics and vid but can not include it all due to requests of a few to stay out of the posts so pretty much all the work of decorations will not be able to be shown, there are a few that will be though. 

I am also going to post to My YT channel as well! A total of three videos on YT!!!! :0)


I do not know about you and yours, but when we have parties there is always at least one picture of food! lol


A few guests arriving...usually they are late this year they all came 2 hours early!! Yep, so we just rolled with it! lol



I know you all have been curious...yep here I am with Hubby!


This is one of two of our photo op spots!  every year we try to have at least one themed photo spot. We were lucky there was a hanging! lol I wanted to get some night shots but it didn't work out the entire outside was set with strobes it looked pretty cool! flashing creepy tombs and electronic creatures that are sound activated...oooh creepy!



Many like to pose and position the skeleton, some were a little well no matter trying to keep it all ages friendly, so I decided not to post lol Myself included! lol 



Some came as characters from books. Which I thought ws awesome!




The good fryer sharing some wisdom and lending a hand! lol
My family cracks me up!



A shot of Steve from Minecraft guys and a bit of the festival area! and of course the time machine that brought the time travellers lol yep mom had to park there! oh well!  hahaha




The great wise wizard (dad) at the fire, he was eager to start the stories and roast! The best part that everyone looks forward to!




Here is a creepy guy I made. Old clothes a mask some wood, pvc pipe and made his hands from wire and clay.  The ranger looks like she is ready to shoot and Copper her pup is watching! lol




Here is the crazy reaper, we call him charlie! This is part of the quest area! Everyone pics a quest and they have to complete the obstacle course to claim their reward! I had enough prizes for all. It was a blast! I just wish I had pics from it but seeing as I was running the quests it was hard to get them.




 this is part of the graveyard, full of bones tombs, groundbreakers, spider webs, coffin, and strobes as well as some motion sensitive props.



Finally the highlight of the night, the Fire! yep, we are just getting started so some are off grabbing the wood from the pile others are changing out of their costumes, and some getting warm drinks and setting up the food to roast! 
Nothing beats stories around a fire! yep ever seat was filled and so were the benches and some sat on the grass! 


We stayed up really late and woke early to a large southern breakfast and danish, everyone left before lunch, and we broke it all down by supper! 
Why is it always easier to break down then set up? lol
We still have a few decorations but most of it outdoors is gone, we don't have any trick or treaters here and it is sad,That is one thing I miss from our old place! We used to have loads of kids! oh well!

Hope you all Have a Frightfully Happy Halloween!
