The 2024 Halloween Party kicked off this year's haunted Holiday season a bit early (the 22nd) so we can spread out the fun and make it into a candy-fueled marathon.
Each den once again had a Halloween-themed game with candy and other rewards. There was Pumpkin bowling, Monster Cornole, a true Trick or Treat blinded cup game, Plinko Drinks, an archery style target game and more. Kids gladly stuck their hands into gross things. Guzzled weird mixtures of liquids. And yes, there were fake eyes. Kids kept coming back to my game station to try and collect the most fake eye ping pong balls and chose them when they could have selected candy. I was surprised. The costume contest featured 4 prizes. Leo always wins scariest, I have to assume he did again, because i heard his Scarecrow had a ton of votes in multiple categories. Somehow my son Colin won most creative for a storebought Deadpool outfit. I have to admit we went all-in on it as you have to buy the suit, the belts, and the swords all seperately so at least he got a wawa gift card out of it. I have no idea who won the other awards. Will update this blog post if i ever find out, but I was impressed by tiny kids in giant blowup outfits, like dinosaurs, chickens, and some weird blue thing. I saw the Joker, Robin Hood, Harry Potter, amongst the kids but not enough adult leaders in costume. Next year we all must embrace it and make fools of ourselves, and not because we barely fit in our Khaki uniforms anymore.
