ARMY BRATS: PARTIES ON FORT DRUM OCTOBER 23RD 2010

IT SEEMS LIKE WE CELEBRATED HALLOWEEN FOR THE WHOLE MONTH, BUT REALLY IT WAS JUST THE KIDS DRESSED IN THEIR COSTUMES LIKE EVERYDAY.

1 WEEK BEFORE HALLOWEEN FORT DRUM COMMUNITIES HELD HALLOWEEN EVENTS & THE USO HOSTED A BOOGIE WITH YOUR BOOTS ON EVENT LATER THAT EVENING.

TO START THE EVENING, THE KIDS AND I, WENT WITH ANOTHER FAMILY TO TRICK OR TREAT & PLAY AT ONE OF THE COMMUNITY CENTERS. WE LEFT MARK AT HOME FOR SOME PEACE & QUIET FOR THIS EVENT.

THE KIDS PLAYED GAMES & TRICK OR TREATED AT DIFFERENT STATIONS BEFORE WE TOOK THEM THROUGH THE HAUNTED HOUSE....WHICH THEY ALL HATED...LOL- OH THE JOYS OF TORTURING YOUR CHILDREN.

THE KIDS STARTED TO GET HUNGRY SO THEY KEPT ENTERING THE DONUT EATING CONTESTS...HAHAHA

RONAN ATE HIS WEIGHT IN DONUTS AND EVEN WON A CONTEST OR 2.

STUFFING HIS FACE TO GUARANTEE THE WIN....WOO HOO !!!

SO WITH SOME GOODIES IN THEIR BELLIES, IT WAS TIME TO HEAD OVER TO THE USO FREE EVENT FOR THE FREE FOOD, BEER, GAMES, RAFFLES, DANCING & ENTERTAINMENT...

I WENT HOME TO GET MARK FOR THE BEER.

THEY HAD A MECHANICAL BULL IN THE BAR AREA...SINCE IT WAS A FAMILY EVENT IT WAS OPEN TO EVERYONE...MATT & RONAN RODE THE BULL MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE MARCEL WATCHED AND FINALLY WANTED TO TRY.
