Halloween... by Corrie

Austin and I always wanted to build a maze for Halloween. So, for a while we had planned how we would build the rooms and do the costums and the set design. However, it just would never work out. Due to me being so busy with State marching band festival on halloween and finishing up the volleyball season, Austin did the most work. Ashlie came home that weekend also, so she was there to help. We also invited a couple other kids in the neighborhood to help us scare the little ones.

Austin, Corrie, Scott, and Joseph. We were setting up the maze.

The night of Halloween was extremely cold and windy. The sides of the maze were made out of gargabe bags held down by bamboo sticks. However, the wind was so strong we had to tear holes in the walls and use several rolls of duck tape, bungy cords, and string to tie it all down. But, the sound of the garbage bags in the wind gave a nice sound effect at night.

Everyone did a wonderful job that night. The kids and grown ups that did go into the maze were astonished of what teenagers were willing to put together all for Halloween. Not many kids were on our street, because we are on the side street. However, it still was a really fun night.

All our hopes for next year are even greater. Hopefully this coming year we'll put more thought and time into scaring little kids.
