October swept by in no time. It didn't help that we were so busy being up at This Is The Place Heritage Park for Haunted Village the majority of the month. Dad was involved too. Mom came up with us during the day for Lil' haunts. We had a lot of fun with that as well, but our fingers sure hurt after 3 days of it. We made corn husk dolls or rather showed the kids how to make them. We had a great time! The evening were more fun, however. We had the youth from our ward go up one night and they LOVED it.
We all would meet in the basement of the Deseret Hospital to get changed, make-up and await our assigned positions. That's dad just making his way in and having a seat. Don't ya just love his "up-do"? He hid out most of the time in the corn maze. Dad had the most votes for being the best/scariest character through the duration of the Haunted Village and therefore won the contest, receiving an Ipod. YEAH ED!! Trev is standing at my post. The exit gate. There I am in all my pioneer-ish glory and hoop skirt. That was my post the majority of the time, which was great!! People didn't know if I was gonna scare them or just talk to them and take their wristbands. It was fun to see them coming running for the exit while being chased by another creepy character and to listen to their comments. Yeah, the intoxicated ones were the best! "Thanks for coming and here's a breath mint." Other times I was at Brigham's farmhouse, scaring people (that was the best!! hehehe), or hidden in the outhouse looking storage shed. This place was also great!! I scared A LOT of big macho GUYS in both places!!! It was all I could do to not laugh and stay in character when I heard these guys scream and run away. It was great to hear the comments from the guests and names they gave dad. I think the best would have to be the deranged Santa Claus or the yum-yum guy. David came away with some unusual ones as well. Indiana Jones, Cowboy Joe and the best was...Garth Brooks. All in all we had a fun time and are now looking forward to Candlelight Christmas up there. Starting the day after Thanksgiving.
Well.... we have added a new member to our little family. We'd like to introduce...

Isn't she sweet?! We took Koda along when we went to have a look at her and he seemed to like her. So we took her home. Koda is VERY protective of her. Here's some fun pictures of them.
She's been alot of fun. The first 3 or 4 nights she kept both David and I up. Good thing David was off work for those days. She's starting to show off her own personality. :)
