Ward Halloween Party!

This year our ward had a Halloween party. We have done them before but it's been a while. It was combined the yearly tradition of a chili cook-off. Nelson and I passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters who circled the church knocking at classroom doors. The youth were in charge of the spook alley. Being that this was for the primary kids and at the church, we thought it best to avoid gore and extremely intense stuff. There is a classroom in our building at the top of the stairs with an exit down the stairs on the other side of the room. The kids decorated with hanging crepe paper to walk through up the stairs and then sheets hung in a maze through the room. They had black lights and spooky music, teenagers playing dead, and one in a straight jacket. Then on to the peeled grapes, wet noodles and next...the mad scientist! They had a fake body under a sheet and then Caroline behind the table with all manner of lab instruments, lunging out and shrieking as you passed. She was awesome!
