Halloween Weekend

The fiance and I aren't really into Halloween.

Neither of us like scary movies. Neither of us are very motivated to craft costumes and neither of us are socially motivated enough to seek out Halloween festivities and carving pumpkins is kinda messy.

We'd rather be caving.

In fact, if we hadn't had a stroke of bad car luck we'd be down near Mt. St Helen's to climb around Ape Caves just like we were last year.

Forget handing out candy to costumed kids or watching scary movies that will give us nightmares-let's hit the caves and climb around til our hair gets soaked with sweat and our hands are scraped and muddy!

The caves stay a constant cool 42 degrees Fahrenheit all year round and (for the most part) are underground so you don't have to worry about the rain unless you're hiking to the mouth or back down to the parking lot! Last year we ran into a clod of high schoolers, but for the most part had a great time hiking through the cave together with our handy dandy headlamps.

While we won't be enjoying Halloween-y activities we do have our engagement pictures scheduled for this weekend and we consider that our festivities.

I've been fighting back pimples all week preparing for the shoot and late one night this past week we got up and picked out outfits. Hopefully the pictures turn out well :o) Nothing more terrifying than a pimply portrait (comic snare-cymbal beat).

If all goes well we'll have a relaxing Halloween weekend with a fire, coffee, gingersnaps, and a fun photo shoot!

No whammies, no whammies, no whammies!
