Halloween in Oregon

          Sunday was Halloween this year, we drove through dense fog to Church. Dennis and his family were there. They had been babysitting the Triplets all weekend and they were both lacking sleep, therefore Zombies.

       After Church Dennis toured us through the new home he was building for Justin. It was huge, 5ooo sq.feet.three levels, 5 bedrooms, Theater room,bar, basketball court in the basement, butlers pantry, lots of storage shelves everywhere, a large kitchen with a farm sink and a great Island, a large dining room and living room with a fireplace joining each room,three car garage. Large swimming pool with slide and beautiful large gray rock features. Large patio with a long tube to slide down, from the second floor to the ground for the kids to escape when they are teenagers.

      Then we arrived at his home, we ate delicious Venison Stew, Dennis had made. Then the preparations began for the Halloween Party that evening. Marianne made a large Veggie Skeleton, pumpkin pies out of pie crust, little smokie mummies, out of smokie sausages, wrapped with bread dough.  Then we took it all to Jeremey's home when all the family met for the Halloween celebration.

      The Grandkids all came in costume and were very cute. Of course it was photo time to catch them all in their costumes. JaNae did a little craft with the little kids making plastic candy corns into people. Everyone brought Halloween type food. Bats and ghosts made from tortillas, a brain from Peach Jello with eyeballs, bread dough fingers with red almond fingernails, A spiderweb in avocado dip and salsa. For Desert Ice Cream with Halloween toppings like Frankensteins teeth, chopped walnuts, Zombie Eyes, cherries, vampire's blood, strawberry syrup topping. and spider legs, chocolate sprinkles.

       Dennis had made a spook alley in the garage for the kids. It was dark, spooky. Long black strips of plastic garbage bags, hit you in the face as you walked through the spook alley.You stepped on sheets of bubble wrap which popped under your feet. Scary ! It as great and really spooky even had real stuffed mountain goat head in it so the kids could pet it. A fun but a long day for all.
Happy Halloween in Oregon.
