Traditional Halloween Friends Trip to Bear

As some of you know, we have a tradition of having all our friends up to Bear Lake for a Halloween party. Some of you may not know how long it's beeen going on. Well, Ryan claims that he and Ty started it right when Ty got off his mission or maybe even before that- but that was before they started inviting their girlfriends, I started going as soon as that tradition started and haven't missed a trip yet. Last weekend was our 5th year! I think the only other couple that has made it every single year is Kelly and Melissa, and hopefully we can keep it going!

20072008 2009We have a few traditions to go along with our Halloween weekend. We always carve pumpkins Saturday night, sometimes watch a scary movie, tell scary stories and try to play the Dare Game. We choose a dare and whoever picks up the Ace of Spades has to complete the dare. There have been some good ones! Kelly, Ryan, Melissa H and Melissa E have all had to jump in the lake (keep in mind it's freezing this time of year). Melissa E had to try and eat a tablespoon of cinnamon and Melissa H has had to walk through the graveyard. Every year it seems more and more people wuss out when it comes time to play though...
Still, it's always fun to get everyone together and celebrate Halloween!
