S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y......

This weekend, Dora and Diego (kissing cousins) set out on an adventure. Prepared to rescue absolutely nothing... except some solid adult time. The kind, where adults act like ridiculous children.



Arriving at our gracious hosts house, we were pumped for Halloween fun and Scavenger Hunt 2011, baby.



I whipped this hunt together, in maybe an hour or so... (try several weeks) threw a couple quick ideas together... (researched and provided a detailed theme centering around Spooky songs) ... basic locate a black cat, kind of stuff... (our possible arrest factor was at the highest level.) Clues Included:

'Zombie Jamboree'

'Breakin the Law... Breakin the Law.'

'In the Shadows' Locate a headstone with the number 13 printed on it. This one actually got just a bit spooky if you were not the person holding the flash light.

Children of the Corn. Taken in a corn field.

Flag Girl (Lydia) and Beetlejuice in our chariot.

There were MANY stops and MANY clues to photograph. But I'd rather showcase some costumes.


Warhol and Sweetbreads dressed very poorly
(or maybe very well) as the opposite gender.

DJ Bride. Preggo but still rockin some sweet tunes.

Coach with his favorite girl in photos.

Is this weird... but did Mrs and General look almost better as Cavemen? Seriously, she was beautiful (and curvy!) and he is oddly hot in leg-warmers.

Winehouse: Thanks for letting our hunt repeatedly crash your party. You coulda said "No. No. No."

We know I don't care for hugging on a normal basis: this made me extremely uncomfortable. You can almost see the shiver moving down my spine.

Oh wait... no, actually THAT made me extremely uncomfortable. Grandpa: you must be so proud of your eldest son. He is very pretty.

Finally:
Out of 4 teams, my team placed second. Upon further review, I declare WE are the actual winners. We first appeared to lose to The General's team by a mere 15 pts. 15 pts we would have earned with the best pumpkin smash (clearly ours was more dramatic.) Originally, the 15 pts were awarded to General's team. Except, I discovered later they actually smashed my child's pumpkin, from our porch.
The Clue clearly reads:

'Smashing Pumpkins':
Smash your RECENTLY PURCHASED pumpkin 10pts
The most dramatic smash, receives additional 15 pts.
Judging based on location, style and mess.

FIRST: You did NOT smash your recently purchased pumpkin. Therefore, that is NEGATIVE 10pts
SECOND: Judging based on location? -15 pts

Tink sadly declared this evening "Mom...I jus hafta use your husband's punkin for my jackolater because Ahkenna's daddy jus smashed my punkin."

Hear This: If people don't stop smashing my children's pumpkins (or smashing pumpkins on our vehicles)
The Hunt Master will retire from her post.
Plus, I'm nervous I can't possibly top this year.
Though Coach just told me: "Nobody actually got arrested last night, so you've got more in ya."

His comment, sorta felt like a dare.
