Halloween Night

Our crazy neighbors, Troy Johnson and his son Austin, were the highlight of the neighborhood fun. Halloween is Troy's favorite holiday and so he goes full steam!! This year he dressed as a mad doctor and Austin played the role of the unfortunate patient.

The trick-or-treaters had to approach the mad doctor's surgical table where he unveiled his gruesome deed. The children were then required to select a piece of candy, if they dared. Many times they were surprised to find the patient was still alive.

The pair wanted to make this scene as authentic as possible, so in the morning they went to the local meat market and purchased cow and animal guts. They then smeared the stinky stuff all over Austin to make the whole thing appear very realistic. Although, the strong odor from the animal innards made Austin quite ill and the duo was forced to use fake blood and guts - very disappointing, but Austin is feeling much better. It made for a really fun evening. We could hear the screams from little trick-or-treaters all night long!!

Laura enjoyed the Halloween fun without any trick-or-treating this year. Instead, she did the high school thing and went to a fun costume party. Laura and two of her friends dressed up as butterflies.
