Just returned home from a fabulous Haunted Weekend in San Marcos. Maddy took a friend from school with her so she made sure the entire weekend was well planned out. We kicked off with a bonfire (thank goodness it finally rained in Central Texas) and hotdog roast in the woods. Perfect weather for it, we even needed a jacket!
Saturday for me was spent "haunting" the train. The kids stayed at the ranch and made jack o lanterns. 
We had all sorts of ghosts and goblins come to the party... here are a few samples....
And a few pics of the party car...
After a yummy dinner of Dave's ribs and cajun boil, we played a few games, did a few crafts, and then moved on to the summoning of the trains resident ghosts.
After a chilling tale of how the railcar "Colton County" came upon the ghosts of an old trainwreck, the kids were a little tentative about actually walking through the car... Last year I made one cry, this year, 3. And that was before they even walked through!
And now I'll introduce you to this years resident ghosts...
First we have Haunted Hannah and her pal skinny skelly in the blacklight room.
Next we have "Byron". I call him that because that's whose shirt he is wearing. We aren't sure who Byron is, or was, but his shirt (with his name in it) and we believe size 11 Nike's were left in a closet on the train. Nobody can remember anybody named Byron ever staying on the train....
Don't really have a name for this guy...
But I do know this guy...
