Halloween Spook-tacular

This weekend was the 6th annual Halloween Bash at the Hammock's house. We spent Friday night (despite the pouring down rain all day) decorating the shop for the party...thanks so much Beth, Tadd, Tracy & Shannon for ALL your help getting everything ready. After decorating was finished, we went to our favorite hang-out, Ware's, for supper.

The party was so much fun & I think everyone had a really great time! The focus of the Halloween Party has really changed direction over the past few years. What used to be a pretty much all-adult party that involved lots of "beverages" has turned into a party that focuses on & actually revolves around the kids. Of course, there are still a few "beverages" here & there. But, personally, I think the party is getting better every year. I mean what could be better than this:I think the kids had a really good time Saturday night, too. They enjoyed the pumpkin pinata, "pick-up-pumpkins", and even an old-fashion turn at bobbing for apples.

Jaxson loved bobbing for apples...he loves anything involving water!

Caroline was very proud of herself for doing it "all by herself"!

And, Molly finally got the hang of it, too!

Good job, Braylon!

Riley got one!

Finley got one, too!

I was very pleased at the number of people of actually dressed-up for the occassion this year. Even though, that seems to get fewer & fewer each year. We had a variety of costumes ranging from:A Rock-star & A Gypsie

To The Rubbles

To Hippies & A Cheerleader

To Zorro, His Spanish Whore And Their Cow-kids

Even a Whoopie Cusion accompanied King Charles!


We then took the kids on a spooky & very chilly hay-ride around Cooter Creek Farms. We saw several deer & Uncle Jamey really enjoyed himself while trying to scare the kids!

And, at our parties, things seem to get a little crazy when it gets late at night. The sun goes down, the kids are wore down, and most of the guys are tore down. So, don't even ask what happens when it gets late & only the hard-core partiers remain...

See, I told you not to ask...

Seriously, don't ask!
