halloween 2004






well we didn't start off with quite the bang we're used to.
but we having been doing a few things....

before vacation sam hosted a clay party. the theme of the party was to make scary skulls and other goolish objects that could be useful or not.

i made an ash tray for gio


last sunday we had some more people over to carve pumpkins. lots o'fun.
done by girl sam

this is mine

i'm not sure


last night sam, hazel and i went to the scream park in brighton. good fun. pretty scary.



it was the high tech scary that you'll find at primitive fear or over at elitches haunted houses.
it was the good ol' dangerous fun we all used to have during halloween - the halloween when mom and dad didn't check your candy!


there were two haunted houses, a fun house, a kiddy haunted train ride and another kiddy haunted house.

well if any one knows hazel you'll know that her biggest fear is clowns.
end count of evening = fifteen clowns ( some children size in groups),
two pint size scream masks,
several gools with blood,
several odds and ends people in the dark
one chainsaw guy,
one red neck boy on top of his trailer who would leep on to trampoline
and bounce onto another trailer!!!!! super cool





moving on

the rest of the trip?

i have waited too long and now san fran seems like a foggy memory.... pun not intended

napa......
at the last wine tasting were other older couples seemed amused to find out that we were biking around to the tastings. crazy kids!




the drive back was short and we stopped off at the golden gate.....



after we got back from napa there was only three days left before the drive home to denver.
we had not been over to the mission. we went in search of the brazilian market that we had heard of....we found a cute little italien market as well....



gio and i spent a beautiful late afternoon at baker beach.
this is the beach that cathy and darren used to live by when they lived in the presidio








over all the vacation was brilliant but to short.
the time i spent in the car driving was almost equal to the time in sf. but there were parts of nevada and utah that were breath taking: canyons, mountains, big sky.
it really should have been a two week vacation....
hard to pull off with the both of us at st.marks.

thanks again to my two wonderful sisters and super great brother in law using his powers for good!!! thank you for helping us see you all and have a great vacation!!!!

maybe soon we will all be able to go away to gether some where warm!!!!
not that i don't like the cold..... ocean city any time soon?
