Ours went well also! We had four days of rain this week, but most of my stuff needed to be done last minute anyway. We spent most of Friday afternoon and all of Saturday setting up...BUT I had a countdown checklist, and I'd said anything that wasn't done by 4 pm wasn't going to be done..and at 4 p.m. I was eating a cheeseburger while surveying my completed party area. I was a happy little camper!
My brother brought us wood for our fire, hay and PUMPKINS!!!! He found several orange and green pumpkins and a bunch of gourds that the silly deer didn't eat, and he also brought a tractor and trailer with hay for a hayride! The kids loved it!! We had 60 people here, and only ONE person didn't have on a costume! We had lots of cowboys, a few farmers, a scarecrow, Burger King, a prom queen and a snow queen, sleeping beauty (Mom in her robe, cold cream on her face and slippers...too, too funny), the lady they always interview on tv when the tornado comes through (no teeth and all) and the entire cast of Annie, along with Bonnie and Clyde, and a trio of bikers! There were others, as well! We finished up around 10:30 p.m. It was great fun. :hat:
I'll be getting some photos up later today! We had a ball, and everyone requested that we do it again next year! I'll also be creating a to do and not to do list for next year and putting it in my fall notebook, along with pictures from this year!
We have guests coming for Halloween, but it will be so low key that I'm not even thinking about it too much-all the decorating is done! :jack:
