Halloween


The Sunday prior to Halloween we held our annual Halloween block party, complete with costume awards, movies and good eating. We had about 5 or 6 families show along with 12-14 kids of various ages. "Jim Bob" the redneck cooked hot dogs and the "Wicked Witch" (Pam)organized prizes and did the pre-party fliers.

On Halloween the "Sharp-Toothed Dinosaur" (Lexie) made an appearance on our street as we visited neighbors to Trick-or-Treat. Lexie came back with a boat-load of candy and even a stuffed Scooby-doo halloween toy!!

"Colonel Sanders" (Jim) recycled his costume for the 4th or 5th year and went to play an Ultimate pick-up game in costume. On the way to the fields the Colonel swung by the local KFC to "check on business" and score a bucket of chicken for the costume. The Drive-Thru clerk took a picture of the colonel on his cell-phone because he thought it was so cool! The good colonel scored a 2nd place finish in the costume contest! (This after winning three parties in prior years).

We are already looking forward to NEXT Halloween.
