Halloween

The trailerhood celebrated Halloween in mid-September. Since we are all heading out in less than a week and Halloween was deemed a grand event to celebrate, Zach, the skeleton below, organized a grand shin-dig.

I spent quite a bit of time working on my hat. I had hot pink pom-poms hanging from it (thanks BTA for the yarn!), and had the top covered in all sorts of plastic fruit, purchased at the dollar store (great place). I then decked out my swim suit cover-up in prescription bottles (thanks Mom for scrounging!) of zoloft, cymbalta, prozac, paxil, and wellbutrin. I had some "prescription" M&M's I handed out. Any ideas as to what I was?

Above, me, Zach, and Jen.

Me with Savannah and her fiance Mike. They went as a piping plover and a fisherman. Had we given out awards, they would have won for best couple; I realize this only makes sense to those familiar with the current conflict surrounding the park. It was grand. I wish I'd gotten a photo of her bright orange legs!

Me and Alexander, who still has yet to shave off the cheesy mustache. His costume was a thrift store find and I can't remember the excellent title it had.

Eileen came as Groucho Marx and was in character all night; isn't she fabulous?! Erika was simply thrilled to be out of her uniform. We didn't realize how long her hair was since we'd never seen it down.

Me and the roommate, Rebecca.

Poor Mark was working the night shift, but was still able to make an appearance. I think he looks simply terrifying as a Ranger, don't you? Two months ago he came to the tail end of one of my campfire programs and intimidated some of my visitors.

Figured out what I attended as? Given up? Need a hint? I asked a few of my guy friends who were lacking in a costume idea to come as my weather man.

I love Halloween and I'm thrilled I get to celebrate it again when it's supposed to be celebrated. I've got to carefully pack my hat so the tropical depression can make an appearance in whatever part of the country I end up in at the end of the month.
