Ghosts and goblins and ghouls oh my!

For Halloween Ricky and I went to Corby and Lindsay's house for a costume party. We went as romans. We did a pot luck dinner and Lindsay made the best chicken soup. After dinner came the pumpkin carving contest. Once all the pumpkins were carved we voted. Ricky and I unfortunately didn't win but we tied for last. After the pumpkins came the games. Instead of bobbing for apples we bobbed for tug boats. This is how we played. One person would have to grab the boat then give it to their partner using only their mouth. Their partner would then have to drop it in the bucket. Once you had all your boats in the bucket you would switch places with your partner and start again. The team who got all their boats in the bucket the fastest won a prize. Sounds easy huh but there was one small problem, from all the splashing around the boats would take on water and sink and then came the hard part of trying to get them out without soaking yourself. The pictures that follow will show you how hard it was to stay dry. After the games it was time for a movie but there were so many of us we ended up sitting around talking. It was so much fun and both Ricky and I think the Hogans need to make the Halloween party a tradition. 

Some of us girls.

Lindsay trying to get her boats. They were all sitting on the bottom of the tub and the only way she could pick them up was to stick her whole head in.

We had such a wonderful time at the Hogan's. They know how to throw a good party. Next year Ricky and I will have to step up our game so we can win the costume contest.
