Every October some friends of ours put on the best Halloween Party ever, called Hayride to Hell. It's a weekend camping event out in the Brown County countryside (gorgeous!), and it's always a blast. We went down Friday night and stayed until early evening on Sunday, catching up with all our friends that we haven't seen in months.
Warning: Some pictures of Cara's costume and costume preparations may be offensive. Cara agrees it looks gross (but the blood is fake and Cara finds it extremely funny).

At night there is a huge bonfire in the center where the smoke is. |

Bitchy, Crampy, Sleepy, Bloody, Clutzy, Bingey, Moody, Bloated - we were "Shark Week"! (No, it has nothing to do with
the Discovery Channel - just think about it for a minute.) |

Valerie's car battery was dead. :( And it took about 30 minutes, a jump box, 3 sets of jumper cables, and 5 guys to get it
going. (Who would have guessed the jump box didn't have enough power, and 2 sets of jumper cables were bad - one even
started smoking!) |
