Halloween recap

Despite the fact that I've been mostly jazzed about my upcoming trip to NZ, I leave you one more post about the random stuff I've been up to before I start bragging about my trip and it's intended itinerary.

The end of October took me 1) to A Corn Maze! It was a lot of fun - the first one I've ever done. It was Cat in The Hat themed - so apparently if you took a picture of it from above it would look like:

And each numbered station we found was a Dr. Seuss question which, if answered correctly, would lead you the correct direction. It took us about an hour to own that beast! But we succeeded and past numerous small children in the process (Yes, I am smarter than you're 6 year old and yes, I will get annoyed if they are slowing me down! I'm here to win!)

Children of the Corn!

Navigationally challenged.

Winning!

2) A Haunted House! No pictures here though (of course) but it scared the poo outta me! I was even creeped out in line by some goblin thing that kept scaring me. Which of course, once they know you're an easy scare, they keep coming back for more.... can't win there! But how I do love it!

3) Carved pumpkins! I did the Perry the Platypus one and was quite proud. The pumpkins traveled with me to Michigan on Halloween weekend to spend a belated b-day with my brother and best friend. No exciting Halloween themed shenanigans ensued, but Meg and I sure know how to make an empty bar the most happenin' place in Grand Rapids :P Who says you can't dance on the bar top at a TGI Fridays, anyway?

Happy to report that the pumpkins not only rocked, but the seeds were de-lish

4) Finally, and most recently, I've had a very sports themed weekend. It started off with an Admirals hockey game (complimentary of course from the free tickets I won in a previously mentioned frisbee toss game!). They won, cause they rock. And I also hit up my first ever University of Wisconsin-Madison football game (GO BADGERS!) It was a crazy sea of red and white, but we had awesome seats by the 45 yard mark and it was a perfect fall day to go!

My seat!

Yuck, it's taken me 24 years to only start slowly coming to terms with the fact that I'm just not one of those girls who takes gorgeous photographs! But here I am! Goofy as ever.

Mostly now, I'm just preparing my pack list for my trip and trying to get all my ducks in a row (and make a little extra $$$) before leaving! Check back here in a few days and I'll have my pre-trip post for you!!!!
