Screaming Halloween Weekend
Brody and Jocelyn came over for trunk or treat at the church. We handed out the treats which went ever so quickly and we enjoyed seeing the little ones in their costumes. We enjoyed chili and breadsticks and then decided to go to the Jenkins house. As we approached the house I informed them that I usually just look at it from the car. But they insisted that we were going to take a look around. There were so many people there so I decided I could be brave.We looked at the east side of the house and seriously she has so many cute ideas it's amazing how much she has collected over the years. Anyhoo, we came to the back yard and I once again said I don't go around the house, let's just stay to the front. But once again I was shot down. We proceeded and as you remember the big gorillas are standing still one minute and then they are standing right behind you the next. Yikes!! I did my fair share of grabbing people and screaming. We rounded the corner and started walking on the north side of the house. I see several scary creatures but I can tell they aren't real and I'm thinking we are almost to the front yard yeah!! and then I see the chain saw guy, and he had just moved so I new he was real. I switched to the opposite side of Donny to be farther away from the dude. He started coming a little closer so I slowly backed up to get away from him when all of a sudden right behind me a real chainsaw started up so very loud. It doesn't sound so scary as I tell you this but can I just say I think I died for just a minute. I ran and jumped up on Dad ( my arms and legs were wrapped around him, kind of like a monkey) and I screamed so much until I could hardly breath.We saw the visited the Hawkins and the big gorillas found out how jumpy me and Jamie were and totally took advantage of that. We just kept hugging each other and screaming trying not to look at them. Yes we looked pretty rediculous!! KeriBeth saw the whole thing from her car and thought it was quite hilarious.Mason had gotten scared and cryed and she said see even grown ups get scared. Then to top things off Brody and Jocelyn spent the night last night and they talked me into watching "Missed call" at least I think that's what it was called.(remember how Dad told me that the screamin ride at Magic Mtn wasn't bad well he said this movie wasn't bad too.)My throat was so sore from all the screaming I did. I really don't think I've watched a scary movie for over 30 years. And I don't plan on ever seeing one again family. Anyway, we had a pretty fun weekend, but did wish we could have seen the grandkids trick or treating.
