On Saturday I got up around 10 and mom and dad decided to fix the fridge. It has been leaking for more than a few months and it was just time to figure it out I guess. We took all of the food out, cleaned it and dad took the panels and screws out to see what exactly was going on. Turns out the drain hole in the freezer was clogged and then the defrosted water would leak through the refrigerator and make puddles on the kitchen floor. It is fixed now. I waited for Ben to arrive. We didn't leave until about 2. We listened to the Coug game on the radio. We beat Oregon State during our homecoming. On the way to Walt and Wendy's house, we stopped by Party City to see if they had a straight jacket. We got the last one for the win!
We got to Walt and Wendy's house and they had a slew of neighborhood kids helping put the framework up against the house near the entrance. Inside, Wendy and Rosa were making enchiladas for everyone helping out. There were at least six casserole dishes filled with food. The boys were outside building the wall frames and we went out to the front and put up the fences around the small grave yard. By the time we were done the enchiladas were done cooking. I helped Wendy and Rosa set the table with the plate, plastic forks, napkins and the fruit and veggies.
Everyone came in and devoured the food. It was delicious. We chatted for a good hour our so and some of the kids had to go home while the rest of us got some of the walls up and zip-tied. We got all we could done since the rain started coming down heavier. We all relaxed on the couch, talked about various things and drank some hot chocolate.
We headed over to Ben's mom's to visit and to wind down for the evening. We watched the Duck and Husky game and got to meet Brad's son, Christian. He was very quiet and shy and spent most of the time staring into his phone. The Huskies lost as we were watching a few episodes of Star Trek. We had ice cream sandwiches and then decided it was time for bed.
The next day we slept in way to late and ended up not going over to Walt and Wendy's. It was raining and we haven't watched a game with Trish and Amy since last season when we opened with the Packers. Ben and I played Rummy while we watched the Seahawks blow another 4th quarter lead. Ugh! I hope our coaching staff figures it out soon. It's painful to watch.
Afterwards we decided to meet Walt, Wendy, Chris and Rosa at Maris Farms. If we would have known the pumpkin picking stopped at 6 p.m. we would have went earlier. Lame. We bought our tickets and then hung out in the car until I had an idea of grabbing a cache or two while we waited for 7 to roll around.
White on White (GC2GJGG) was a park and grab. We looked for the only white thing in the area and Ben found it right away. It was getting dark as we made the find. We took it back over to the car and signed it because we brought a pen that didn't work. He went and put it back while I sat in the car. We decided to go get another one but we found out it was along a trail next to a canal. We thought we should save this one for when it's not raining or dark out.
We drove back and they pulled in as soon as we did. We walked towards the gate and met them right away. We looked at the "electric" chair while some skeletons played their guitars to Queen.
I used the bathroom and was startled by a giant scary clown on stilts. I had no idea he was hiding behind the structure. We got into line as soon as we could because it grew every second that passed. While we waited in line, Ben mentioned the GoPro, saying he left it in the car. Why did you leave it in the car? He went and grabbed it as fast as he could...and the line started moving. I didn't get very good reception in this area but I tried to text him to hurry.
He got there before we made it into the barn. There, a short woman with old lady make-up talked to us for a while. The line moved steadily. We gave the guy our tickets and made our way through the haunted woods/corn maze.
They did a really good job. I've never been through a haunted woods or corn maze before. Lots of noises, actors dressed scary, screaming, an old bus, glow in the dark paint, clowns, blood, chain saws and my favorite, a vortex room. It made you actually feel like you were swirling around upside down the entire time. Wendy stepped wrong and twisted her ankle a little bit so we had to slow down on part of the trail. We got to the end and sat down for a bit and chatted. It was a fun group outing.
Ben and I drove back to my house and dropped me off. We both needed to get ready for work the next day. It was the third haunted house/woods/corn maze since I've met Ben. We seem to try new places every October. I wonder where we will go next year?
