Witches brew (root beer)

Last year we got together and had a themed dinner to celebrate Halloween - we had such a good time that we decided to do it again! It was so much making the food! We couldn't stop and went a little overboard but everyone loved it! We were a little outnumbered by the kids so it was crazy at times but we survived the night. One of the traditions we have is to visit a house on a neighboring street that goes ALL out at Halloween - we piled (literally) into a 12 passenger van (quite a sight!) and headed off. This year they added a replica of the Pirates of the Carribean ship The Black Pearl! The whole street came dressed as pirates (really good costumes, too!) and all got into the act! Really amazing! After trick-or-treating, our kids came back and scared other kids by jumping out of a coffin and sending a scary ghost down a zip line. Such great memories! Can't wait until next year!
