Now that the fall season is upon us, my schedule is crazy.
Between Wanda's place and Red Barn Farm, I work every single day from now until the first weekend of November, with the exception of home football games. Even then, I have to miss at least two of those games because of dinner theater rehearsals. Yep, toss in a few rehearsals and performances into the mix and I have a whirlwind fall season planned.
Amidst all of this, the Hanson Halloween Bash will be held this year. Last year was a bust. We had only been here a few months and didn't know enough people to actually have a memorable event. BUT, this year is different.
Our foreign exchange student, Mona, is excited about Halloween, American Style. She already has her costume. I have to get her a big pumpkin so she can carve her very first jack-o-lantern. Although there are not nearly as many trick-or-treaters here as there were in Germany, it will be fun for her. She has already said she plans on taking every kids' picture.
Kansas City has several permanent haunted houses that go all out for Halloween. We did not attend any of them when we were stationed here in 2001 nor did we attend any last year. BUT, this year is different.
I anticipate a super scary encounter. The haunted houses that show up in Golden, Colorado are scary. Much more so than I would have ever suspected.
The haunted house experience in Germany was NOT scary at all. Despite having ambulances at the ready for anyone having heart palpatations, the scariest Halloween event in Germany was mild compared to Golden's production.
I can only imaging what big time haunted houses in a metropolitan area can produce.
YIKES!
