Haunted Hallowe'en Happenings

Haunted Happenings

Event: Halloween Fun
Date: October 28
Place: Chilliwack

We started off at the Corn Maze where we were seriously bothered by 2 weird guys wearing masks. The Australians were scared, nervous, and then mad. Well, it turned out to be Cathy and Ken from the Vancouver Island Exchange Group. What a gooood spooooky trick that was. We wandered around lost and laughing for a great deal of time. The Trivia Questions, which were supposed to help us, did not, and no matter who our leader was, they did no better than the person before. Eventually we did manage to go through the two mazes, and with bags of U Pick apples we went back to Amy’s place to carve pumpkins and have supper. The best part of supper was the desert of gruesome hands, which was a work of art – carved from chocolate ice cream, and dripped with raspberries. (Good on yeh - Phil and Jo)

After supper some chose to stay home and visit and others went to the Reapers Haunted House. After waiting in line, long enough to get frightened by the wind and rustling leaves, we entered the skinny halls of the House as a lump of seven. The displays were excellent and you never knew if they were mannequins or actors ready to pounce, touch, groan, or whatever, to scare you. What fun that was!!!!! It was so worth it – and what a cultural experience!! Canadian Halloween at it’s best.

We all slept over at Amy’s and after a great breakfast we slowly and sorrowfully left, knowing this may be the last time we see these Exchange Teachers. I hope you all had a wonderful time and take home fantastic memories.
