Ridiculous amount of activities. Halloween activites.

So, I couple weeks ago when I said we couldnt beat the amount of activities we had that weekend? It appears we did, we have, and might even again next week. What a fall season! We started by going to the SEED event at the Aiken Tech Ruth Patric Science center. We participated with a table about Technology and 3 D printers.

My Friend Vinnie was showing some kids how his “Usless machine” works here.

Then we went to the Greek Festival

…and Purchased some “Feta Fries” Our favorite thing at the fest, a few years running.

Then we went to a BMX race, later that day. There was something else sunday I want to say.. I will edit this when I remember it. 🙂

Then, the next weekend, we went to the Plantation Blood Haunted house with some friends.

And met some new friends I guess…

We purchased some Pumpkins for a party we where going to later that night..

And one of the spinning ride at the Jackolantern Jubillee

And here are some of the finished products.. Rockwell’s is on the left. It’s a ghost.

Playing with the haunted fountain…

THen we went to another Haunted house, here in North Augusta.

All of us being silly in line.

This weekend, Melinda went to a Halloween party at a friends house with her friend Raven. Check out the crazy eye makeup!!

And then went to Plantation blood AGAIN.. This time it was for a tech walk though where we taught the young makers how the inner workings of a haunted house works. This was the group that went with us.

Then later that night, they where invited to come back to go though the haunt again.. This time, Melinda knew where all the cameras where hidden, so she posed in front of them while everyone else was scared of stuff jumping out at them. I think this is HILARIOUS.

Yet more zombies hugging my 13yo. Raven’s mom went with us.

And finally, a couple non Holloween related things..
First, Melinda was chosen to be the mock election campeign manager for Vincent Sheheen, the democrat candidate in SC.

Yet another picture I caught of her reading.. I like these because.. just because.

 

Did you like the recession? Then vote for this guys team again.

 

 

We went the the S.E.E.D Event again this year. I demonstrated magnets and Motors, and how they work.

 

Hannah helped. Here she was visiting the booth across from us. She has always like snakes… Perhaps she is Slytherin masquerading as Ravenclaw!

Some more Friday night lights. This is the next to the last game.

 

So, we are selling the back-back yard.. So I had to take the treehouse down. Here it is “up”.

 

Middle “on the way down”

 

Bottom floor reached. Watch your step.

 

This weekend was apple pressing time. We Visited Arthurs again, and helped him press some apples. It was fun as usual. In her wandering, Hannah discovered a caterpillar with some type of parasite. I’m curious about this.. Anyone know what it is?
