frightmares

The other day we went to Frightmares at Lagoon with Greg and Shasta (Eric's brother and his girlfriend).

Weather was perfect so it made for long lines, but still fun. We really went for the rides, instead of the haunted houses. Rather than eating the crappy food inside the park, we decided to bring our BBQ and grill by the car. Greg and Shasta always come prepared with good food, they always introduce us to tasty food from Costco too...today we had turkey sausage hot dog things with mango, cilantro and other goodness inside it...mmm. It smelt good an everyone walking by said "good idea"...yeah that's why we did it :)

Here is a random sign on the spider ride. Honestly, I think you could do without the sign, its a given!
During the day it was normal but at night is when the freaks came out...literally. This pumpkin head was like 10 feet tall...there were a ton of people in crazy costumes (workers, not guests) walking around the park trying to scare people. My favorite costume was the one with a gorilla carrying a cage with a man inside (didn't get a picture). They creeped up on Shasta a couple times...it was pretty hilarious.

Waiting in line for Deception - one of the haunted houses - was a pain. We waited what seemed like forever in the freezing cold. I felt more sorry for the people having to entertain us in costumes. Like this one chick below, it was about 11 and she still had so much energy, don't know how she did it. She wanted me to poke her third eyeball, it was pretty gooey. Then she says, "I'm actually really pretty, want to see a picture?" I'm like, ok and she pulls out her phone and shows me a picture of herself, oddly enough she looks exactly the same, but without makeup...who would've thought?!
Thanks Greg and Shasta for the invite...we always have a blast with you guys!
