Scavenger Hunt Sunday – October 31, 2010

I love our town and through all of our involvement in school activities, Schuyler’s sports and Cub Scouts, it has been fun to get out on the Common and enjoy the latest events.  This weekend was the “Monster Mash” Dash & 5K.  I took some great shots at the Dash and here are my favorites!  I placed 4th and ran a 23 minute 5K.  I wasn’t feeling that great and realize now it was that trip and body slam to the ground that may have bruised some ribs.  🙁  But – these photos are so fun it is almost “healing” to share with all of you!  The first one is the friendly energetic librarian / race director! :)(  The second is all the little girls getting ready for their dash!

This is another from “My Town” series, but the Clapp Memorial Library is raising money to continue its renovations and restore this historical / vintage building.  The funds raised at the Monster Mash were directed toward this Library funding.  

Love this photo of the popcorn balls that I made for the Lupa Zoo Halloween Party.  I didn’t quite get the Tilt-Shift idea, but think this might qualify.  They were quite yummy too & I posted the recipe below.  🙂

Schuyler and friends at the Lupa Zoo Halloween Party.  This is the third year we have gone to this wonderful event.  The Lupa Family is always so generous to open up the Zoo after hours and the kids all get a chance to get up on stage and perform a skit or tell some jokes.  These are my favorites from last night! 

 I was going to “cheat” and use the same popcorn ball photo with the Hershey bar, but I decided to play around with some M&M’s in a champagne glass and this is what I came up with for chocolate.  Very colorful! 🙂
