This Halloween was a LOT of fun. A lot of work, but a lot of fun. We decided to hold a competition at our woody and make everyone dress up and climb in their costume. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, but it ended up being an absolute BLAST! It was colder then hell, but we had a great turn out and the people that attended said they had such a good time and are looking forward to next year. We put a lot of time and effort into putting up quality problems and I spent a crap ton of time on my costume. I dressed up as the Black Swan and the final product (not trying to brag) was amazing. Unfortunately, it was SO cold outside that I had to put on a puffy and boots to survive so it kind of ruined it. And because of that, I only got a few pictures of it. Lame, I know. Plus, we were so busy trying to run the comp, we didn’t take many other pics. Thanks to a few competitors, we got a few more, but next year, if we do this again, we will be sure to take a lot. I’ve already picked out a costume that would be ok in cold weather so I’ll be able to function. Anyway, for our first try, I’d say it turned out pretty darn good. =) Enjoy!
We made this a legit competition and started advertising for it on our Instagram feed. This was the first promo shot. Bone Daddy getting in some hangboard time. =)Here he is again taking a break from setting some problems…Checking his messages. Ha!This was the first place prize. It was hard to make cuz the fabric was very soft. It turned out beautiful though and we threw in some chalk and a sticker. Our buddy Petty ended up winning. He dressed up as Alladin.This was the raffle prize. This was easier to make and it turned out so good! Our friend Cory won it. He dressed up like House.One of the only pictures I was able to get of myself…and it was a selfie in the closet! So dumb, Ha! This one shows you how cool my crown was. I made that out of hot glue and wire. Turned out pretty good huh? =)This is a little closer. The contacts were a nightmare. It took me almost 45 minutes to get them both in and then I had to do my makeup AFTERWARDS which was so hard because I could barely see. But all in all, I think it turned out well. Heck, I still have the costume so I may wear it again in the future and be able to take better pictures. =)Here’s a picture of everyone. Tommy is far left – he was a sniper. He looked so good.Here’s everyone going crazy. It was such a good time. =) Oh and look at the top of the woody! Tommy rigged up a disco ball for the comp and it looked amazing!The next night we went to our buddies house and went trick or treating with all the other kids in the neighborhood. The boys had a great time. It was pretty chilly though.Will was a firefighter and Henry was Michaelangelo.Silly boy…Little sweetie…
