A Trip To OZ

Every year, a co-worker to Toms', hosts a spectacular halloween party. She does it for charity. The ticket to get in is a new toy that she can give to kids in need. It is an amazing event. Suzzette is her name and SHE is amazing. Sadly, this was her last year of doing this. She has done it for 22 years. It takes her 3 minths to get ready for it. Our children look forward to this all year long. This year the theme was the WIzzard of Oz. She has a carving contest, food and so many activities for the kidos.


The setting is at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean at Dillan Beach. This is where her home is.

Our kidos look forward to the pumpkin carving every year. Tom is a great help to them. We anded up bringing home 8 pumpkins that were carved this year. There were extras so the kids decided to carve another one. They had prizes on them at the end for them to take home.

The yellow brick road. It took here several house to construct this special road out of yellow duck tape.

Bailey and Addy waiting for the horse carriage ride.


They thought that this was great.
After the carriage ride. She gave all of the munchkins OZ shirts. They wet running through the neighborhood looking for puzzles piecse that had a message from the Tin man. They were also looking for Todo.

Taylor found one of the puzzle pieces.

After they found Todo, Addy manages to get her hands on him. She thought that this was great. When we arrived back at her house, she handed out baskets full of OZ stuff, including everyones very own Todo. The witches hats were great.

Addy can't see to walk.

We had Piea for dinner. This was amazing to watch cook. It was a very different dish from Spain. It had shrimp, spicy sausage, chicken, vegetables and a rice. It was kind of like Gumbo - Spanish style. This is a traditiona dish that you would get if you went out to eat in Spain.

Wow what a very cool thing to be able to participate in. I can't even imagine how much she must spend to put it together. Your kids are so stinkin' cute Melisa. :)
