Haunted Forest

My friend lives on a beautiful piece of property in the forest.  She volunteered to let the youth in our church come and do a haunted forest in her trees.  I called my brother to see if he could help and the rest was history.  He brought up a trailer, we assembled and planned one day, and the next we were scaring anyone and everyone.

My brother is funny, so working with him was FUN!

The groups would start out going through the Vortex.  It’s like this walkway with an eight foot cylinder spinning around you.  The black light and neon spots spinning makes you so dizzy.  Ron took some cool pictures of it.  This is Kaylee walking through it.  It’s really hard to explain how dizzy the motion makes you feel. 

The Beehives, or youngest girls group are the ones that were stationed in different areas to do the scaring.  There was a clown room, graveyard, mad scientist, giant spider web, chain saw by the wood pile, the well the goes down forever, and the pulley bats.  Here are Kaylee and Analiese getting their scare on and ready.

Jerrica is really scary with her shirt that says she is JERRICA!  She probably made me laugh the most.  I took her and her little friend thru first so that the girls could practice scaring.  Halfway through they are begging me to not do anymore, yet they are crying at the fact of back tracking through the parts they have already seen.  It was a huge dilemma for them.  We just held tight, closed our eyes, gritted our teeth, and plunged along the rest of the path.

Super fun night!  Loved talking and laughing with my brother as we built it and then as we took it down.
