Halloween Light..... Halloween Dark

Part I - Halloween Light

Church - We participated in the annual Harvest Festival and provided a Trunk or Treat - We opened up the back of our car - We had a dice game to win prizes and candy... There were six bags and each bag had a prize - Bag 1 = pencils... Bag 2 = puzzles.. Bag 3 = Chinese puzzle.. Bag 4 = a plastic jewel ring.. Bag 5 = tattoos.... Bag 6 = Blow pops... The kids loved it - There were a couple little ones that would jump right back in line.. Very fun - This is part I









Part II - Halloween Dark

I love scary - our neighbors put on a haunted house in front of their home every year - the past two years - the husband and kids have participated - It's funny - You can hear the screaming all the way down the street... The haunted house was so popular you could see tons of people walking towards the house- reminded me of the movie Dawn of the Dead - Spooky... This is Part II

Dusty's Halloween Decorations

My husband is the son of a teacher - a home economics teacher... Growing up his home was decorated for every season... including President's Day.. seriously...

So last night before his poker buddies came over for their twice a year get together he decided to spruce up the house a little....

My Day Off At The Most "Crowded" Happiest Place On Earth

Yesterday I did what I said I was going to do... I went to Disneyland.. along with the rest of Southern California and a couple of other states and throw in a few countries and there you have it... The most crowded "Happiest" place on earth... Seriously, it wasn't so bad... The decorations were great and festive and orange... and you can find a lot to talk about standing in line for Space Mountain for 1.5 hours.. Yep - it was so crowded the Fast passes sold out before 2:00 in the afternoon.. No kidding...



We did play it smart - right when we walked in the park - we headed for the Haunted Mansion and got Fast Passes - the line was like nothing I had ever seen... Every one was there to see Jack.. So we got our passes and then we went next door to Splash Mountain - we stood in line for about 40 minutes - we visited with some great people from Costa Rica - enjoyed that.. Good thing the late morning/early afternoon was warm because we got soaked... It was very funny... A wave literally came over the log ride and drenched us....



After Splash Mountain - we were able to walk right into the Haunted Mansion - Love it! I had never seen it decorated for Halloween and Christmas - There was a huge Jack (from the Night before Christmas) dressed as Santa - awesome.... I wish I could have taken a picture of that.... Now I know what all the fuss was about..



This was the best picture I could take - while walking into the Haunted Mansion - The park was so crowded that they sold out Friday and Saturday. I was too pooped to stay for the fireworks - so today after tonight's Bible study we went as a family for dinner and fireworks.... Since the husband does not have a pass we watched from the top of the parking garage.. Very nice... but next week - I'm watching from inside the park!
