Haunted Forest...what a blast!!

So, while visiting my girlfriends for lunch one day, we were trying to decide what to do for Halloween. We were throwing in ideas and I was remembering last year when I went to the Haunted Forest down in Buckley. I started to tell them about it and they all got excited and said that that was what we should do.

I got ready, thinking that not only did I look cute, but I was going to be warm as well. The only thing that made me a little sad was that I didn't have anyone to share my cute glow in the dark halloween panties with. It really sucks being single when you do things with your couple friends. Oh well!

We all showed up over at Aleasha's house at around 6. It was Aleasha and her husband Chuey, Jana and her boyfriend Ray, Oly, Monica and I. BTW, these are my favorite people in the whole world. So we pile into cars and head out. Its about an hour drive and in the pitch black, and for not having any directions, I must say that we did pretty good, with only having to turn around once!

The thing about my group is that we are all pretty much the same. We love scary movies (the bloodier the better) but in heart, we are all chickens. We talk a mean game, but as we are waiting in line, Ray looks over at us and states "At anytime during this, if the Zombies come, I will trip you all to survive!" This coming from a guy who says he never gets scared. HAHA

Its our turn now, and as we head out into PITCH BLACK CORN MAZE, it is Chuey followed by Aleasha, Oly, Ray, Jana, Me and then Monica. You really have to stop and think about why people really go into the dark, in a corn field, to have the crap scared out of them. Is it a chemical imbalance in our brains that make us do it? I really don't know what it is, but I have to tell you, that I would do it over again in a heart beat.

Ok, we are all walking along now, and at the first signs of trouble, Aleasha starts laughing. When we get scared or nervous, we start laughing. Yeah, if it came down to something chasing me, I would die...I can't run and laugh at the same time. I really cant see much, just the outline of Jana's jacket. It was really dark. And it was raining about a half hour before, so it was all muddy on top of it.

As we are walking, there are people jumping out at us, strobe lights going off, large blasts of air hitting us on the legs, people jumping out at us, large amounts of vibrations on our feet with this chainsaw noises, guys running around with chainsaws, various obstacles with CREEPY CLOWNS that make me cringe..I really have a thing about clowns...THEY SCARE ME!!

Half way through, this guy who was cloaked all in black, laying on the side of the path jumped out and scared the crap out of Ray. It was so FUNNY. He jumped and said a couple of choice words. AWESOME We make our way up the path and there is Freddy Kruger in the path and lets everyone but Monica and I pass. He makes us go a different path, which takes us into the completely black box. I am walking with Monica pressed right against my back and hit a wall. As I turn, something brushes my cheek, which sent me into a panic. I grabbed Monica's hand, and something else, SORRY MAMMA! and pretty much crawl all over her trying to get out. There is banging sounds going off and walls blocking me...I can't move because there is another stupid wall in my way. Somewhere I can hear the rest of the group laughing and screaming. I am pressed against the wall with Monica's arms wrapped around me, we trip and as I try to grab onto something, I hit cloth, it moves and I can see light....YES, WE MADE IT!!! As we are walking through the corn, I hear laughter, turn the corner and see the rest of the group.

Through more corn, up and over a bridge and through the chain link fence maze with even more strobe lights, we finally make it out of the maze. And at the perfect time because we all have to use the bathroom.

It was a perfect night. It stopped raining and was actually not that cold outside. It was filled with lots of laughter, good friends and something to talk about for the next couple of days. We have already decided that we will go back next year!
