Ravencrest Cemetery

So here we are...10 days from the party, 11 days from Halloween, and our yard is finally starting to look like something. Our temperatures have been 25 degrees below average for this time of year (in the 30's!!) and we had rain for 11 of the first 13 days of October (and more last night and this morning, and more later today, etc...).

But we've really pulled it together the last few weekends, you know...commiting to not being hung-over on Saturday and Sunday mornings so we can actually get up before noon and get work done...

And we got key contributions from a neighbor and new friend, Larry! He basically decked out our catacombs all by himself, freeing Missy and I to get other stuff done. Then another new friend, Paul, came over last weekend and helped with the beginnings of the witch's hut and finishing the roof of the mausoleum.

And this past weekend Missy and I had the opportunity to go to Worlds of Fun, the local amusement park, and drive our hearse in their Hallwoeen Haunt parade! They did makeup for us and we got to run around and scare people after the parade just like we worked there! It was a lot of fun, but holy geez was it freakin' COLD!!

We're doing it again Friday, I think. This time we know what to expect and we'll be better dressed...oh, and we'll have fangs this time...
