Halloween

Oct 12, 2018 - Columbus Day is the last official holiday party in the campground. So they celebrate by having Halloween. We had a potluck dinner, a Halloween costume contest and a pumpkin carving contest. This year our costumes had to have a theme, a play on words and everyone had to guess what the play of words was. My costume was an all-black outfit with chains hanging around my body with pictures of food all over it, Food Chains. We had an Indian giving away candy bars, an Indian Giver, a guy had a white t-shirt with the letter “P” all over it and did his eyes in all black, Black Eye Peas and the winner was a woman dressed in a dinosaur outfit with words and their meanings all over it, Thesaurus. It was fun and the bonfire felt really good. It was only 55 degrees and I couldn’t wear my coat over all those chains and pictures. Jack carved a pumpkin of an angry cat and I put in cat-eyes painted black that really looked cool when I put a battery-operated light inside. He also painted a cat face on three small pumpkins and named them Milo, Toby and Sweetpie, names of the campground cats. There were only three pumpkins, one traditional pumpkin carving, one had a carving of a pig with a blanket wrapped around it and the winning pumpkin was actually a piece of wood carved as a shrunken pumpkin head.
