Highlights from Trunk or Treat

This year the young women were in charge of putting on the ward's Trunk or Treat. Little did I know what a big undertaking this would turn out to be. We had the usual chili cookoff and lots of different game booths (cake walk, ring toss, bean bag toss, etc).

But this year we also decided to do a spook alley, which turned out pretty great, but was quite a time sucker. I think it was probably worth it though. The kids seemed to really like it. Unfortunately my camera died after only taking a couple of pictures so I didn't even get pictures of anything but part of the spook alley. At least you'll get an idea. Of course what you're seeing is all in the light.  Sooo much scarier in the dark, but for that...you just had to be there.

This picture was great for our zombie funeral room!

Cecilia crawled out from under the table to frighten the kids as they walked past the coffin.

 Rob was so excited to dress up as a zombie. He had the cheese grater out doing a number on his clothes. He made some chocolate blood and did his own makeup and well as all the kids in the spook alley.  He looks pretty good, don't you think?!

 

The Young Men also helped out in the Spook Alley. We had the evil doctor working on his live experiment. 

Too bad I didn't capture our witch showing the kids the gross science lab body parts (grapes for eyeballs, spaghetti for intestines, crumbled chips for scabs, etc). Also I didn't get the graveyard room complete with creepy graveyard keeper, and lots of scary surprises popping out from every corner. Shoot.

 I wasn't in the spook alley, but was the gatekeeper who showed the kids where to enter and then showed some right back out once they realized it was scarier than they thought! Can you guess my costume?

Happy Halloween everyone!
