Halloween finally descended upon our house. After a rain-filled morning, the skies cleared with just enough time to put out all our decorations, with many new additions for 2011. Our humble home was transformed into a Halloween haunt, completely with animatronics, fog, music, lots of candy, and a few good scares. We got one of the best turnouts and responses ever with more than 80 trick-or-treaters and likely over 100 people total (including parents), many of whom lingered around our driveway, looking at all the decorations, taking pictures, and chatting with us. Kids and adults couldn’t say enough nice things about the display we put together. Many said they were looking forward to seeing what we were going to do this year and were impressed by the results.

It all took around 5 hours to put up and another couple hours to take down afterward. It’s an exhausting day, but worth every minute to entertain the neighborhood. And now… it’s over.

But I will be posting MANY more photos and a video walkthrough of it all very soon. This is just a teaser as my photo-of-the-day.
