Well, after a solid week of gale force winds, we were able to pull off a haunt. The numbers were down a bit from last year but the township had some kind of "safe night" for the kids at the same time. The first few pictures, with NOTHING in the yard, was because with the storms we had, I had to take everything down. Since we were supposed to open Monday and Tuesday, Monday morning I was out there at 7 AM resetting the front yard, setting up the tent for the band and getting them all set. My son's girlfriend came by around noon and said, let's get the back yard maze up too. She and I set up 75% of the maze, alone, fighting the bloody wind, until my husband and my son got home. Son and girlfriend then finished the maze, hubby hung the wall panels up on the tent for the band, I ran all the lights and we were ready to open, barely, that night. Tuesday afternoon, the wind picks up and blows half the backyard down again!!! :googly: Well, we got it back up, added some to the set decorations and were throwing costumes on as the actors ran through the front door, grabbed a mask and a place in the maze and the first guests came through. UNFORTUNATELY, with everything being as chaotic as it was, the camera got misplaced so I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked to but here's what I could get, at least the ones that aren't fuzzy LOL. Next year.......................
