Sunday morning I wake up at dad's house and we pack up for our three day trip to my aunt Maryann's house in New Jersey to spend time with her family as I attend my training. We head out early because we had to head to Quincy first to pick up my grandmother who is making the trip with us. Once we got Nana in the truck we headed for the highway and made great time to New Jersey. As we made our way thru their neighborhood the treaters were already out in force. This is when the fun began, as we were pulling in the driveway Maryann was leaving to bring her oldest daughter somewhere to treat with her friends and yelled out the window, make yourself at home, my nut is in the basement getting into his costume, I'll be back! We enter the house to find James in the basement in just a banana hammock, painting himself blue. I help Nana upstairs and immediately the doorbell starts ringing, we scramble to find the candy and proceed to hand out the goods. Then the next surprise starts, every third bell ring there is another young lady with her parents asking for their youngest daughter, who of course wasn't at the house. Finally after accruing 8 ladies in the living room Maryann made it home with the youngest and a bunch of adult beverages. Then we spent the rest of the night handing out treats, drinking beers and laughing at James in his blue paint on latex.
It was a great night socializing with family! Here is a picture of James as Avatar.
