A Hueco Halloween

Costumes, pumpkin carving and good boulders to climb. What better way to spend a holiday?!



This year’s ideas: A crow and a crocodile. Thankfully these costumes were mostly hot glue and only a bit of hand-stiching. I’m afraid of what ideas they’ll come up with for next year. I really must get my sewing machine fixed!



Crow versus crocodile. Who do you suppose will win?


And to round out this party, me as Silas’ witch and Paul as Crocodile Dundee, Ivan’s crocodile wrestler




Good ‘ol Site 12 at Hueco


Pouring over their whole 5 pieces of candy each. (Shhh, they don’t yet know that other kids fill up pillowcases with the stuff on Halloween!)


(Silas starts school next year….they’ll know soon enough)


(and this mostly candy-free holiday will be no more) 😉


A “starry-eyed man” rock art replication and “a happy guy with crow eyes”


No open flames allowed at Hueco so we improvised with battery operated candles. To our delight not only did the candles flicker and actually look like real fire once inside the pumpkins, but it was so windy that day a candle never would have stayed lit anyway


At home sitting under a boulder and playing in the dirt


Paul testing out his post-surgery finger on Unfinished Symphony v10. So far so good!



No, not another dirt-eating episode – we’re well beyond that (thank goodness!) Just getting a little too cozy in the dirt while drooling and pushing around his trucks.


Silas finding more fall foliage. This time NOT poison ivy!


Me on the opening move of Nuns & Donkeys v6. Yeah muscles.
