Bonoween 2016

This weekend we had another great KISMET Bonoween which would have made Mum and Slim proud. It was to be Nick's and Kim's first Bonoween with the clan and we even had Amy the dog this year as she didn't want to be left alone with the fireworks.Only absenteeism for 2016 was Paul due to work commitments.

 

Anyway the evening went really well. We started with a walk over to the Memorial Park for the firework display. Holly absolutely loved the fireworks and kept asking for more and more. Although being so small we had to pick her up for her to be able to see them and 20 minutes holding her up is tough on the arms and back!

 

Back at Wick Palace and it was all the usual activities with dressing up, sparklers, pumpkin carvings, pumpkin bowling etc. Tina even prepared some Sourz cherry syringes for people to try. We made ice cubes with eyeballs in (disgusting), however we forgot to do our toilet roll mummy game and the movie music game on the phones. So next time...... 

The bonfire at Wickford Memorial Park.

Holly and B all wrapped up for a chilly 5th of November.

The fireworks were amazing and kept our eyes glued to the sky for 20 minutes.

 

Back at Wick Palace and everyone put on their Halloween costumes.

For the first time ever, David joined in with a proper Halloween costume including make-up. What a great effort made my Lisa and David looking absolutely fab and hands down easily winning the fancy dress.

The annual family Bonoween picture, looking as colourful and crazy as ever.

 

Me and Min trying to figure out why dogs get so excited about the teeth cleaning chews, they taste of absolutely nothing and have a horrible texture yet the dogs go crazy for them.

 

Me and Matt looking cool with some light up bat glasses.

The mad hatter.

 

We managed to get some smaller pumpkins so that Holly could take part in the pumpkin bowling.

Tina downing a syringe full of Cherry Sourz.

Little B braving the cold to have some sparkler fun.

Joshua doubling up with the sparklers.

Family sparkler fun out under the lights of our new gazebo which we put up early in the year.

For some reason I have never been so unmotivated to finish a pumpkin carving than I did this year. However after 2 nights work BB8 was finally finished and looking good. But daylight robbery stole the top price from this master class of pumpkin carving. I'll be back next year.
