Iki Express: Halloween Hunter

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween is a special holiday in Tunica because everyone really gets into it. Many people organize hay rides to ride their little goblins all around town, trick-or-treating. We probably had six hayrides full come by the house.

Our great friends Parker and Jill always do a huge, scary, Halloween house, and in the past it has always been the most popular one on the block! So imagine how happy and surpised we were when Jill called this afternoon and said that although Parker wasn't here, she still wanted to do Halloween up right! Becuase it's what he would have wanted.

And boy did she do it up right! Jill's family came into town and cooked, decorated, and dressed up. We had a great time handing out candy all night long. I don't think anyone had as much fun as Mr. Tom, though.

Here's how Tom spent the evening.....

See anything spooky in this picture at first glance?

If you look a little closer you'll see.....

Ahahahahah! So funny.

For all you gals who are not married to an avid hunter, this is what we call a Guilly Suit. Guilly Suits are primarily used for turkey hunting, and secondarily used to traumatize small children on Halloween.

This is the sidewalk to their front door, and Tom squatted here all night scaring the trick-or-treaters! He tried to target mainly parents and teenagers, but I do believe that few toddlers will have nightmares tonight and be damaged for many years to come.

But it was absolutely hilarious to watch him lay there waiting until an unsuspecting victim would casually walk by and then - BAM! - a scary swamp thing lept from out of the bushes!

We're so evil, I know. But like I said, we have a Halloween reputation to uphold here.

After the trick-or-treating subsided (Tunica has a 7:30pm curfew on Halloween night which is AWESOME) we all gathered in Parker and Jill's house for chili, potato soup, and lots of Halloween treats.

Here are a few of my favorite goblins out for the night!
