Johnson Halloween Party 2012

As in several years past, we celebrated our annual Johnson Halloween Party.  And just like always, we had a blast! 

Brad was in charge of the game this year and he decided to do "Fear Factor."  Yeah, just the title made me want to run, but some of the family were very interested in playing. 

The rules of the game:  If you "dared" to play a round, you could, but if you didn't want to do it, you didn't have to.  Of course, if you decided to bail out, you were no longer in the running for the prize...

There were seriously some creative and gross things to eat (all edible).  Here's Josiah in the beginning.  What a trooper.  Oh yeah, and you had to be blindfolded, so you didn't know WHAT you were eating!  And Brad spoon-fed you himself....

 

 

Joshua was by far the best participant.  He was so cute and did so well.  He was always willing to try/taste the next round...I love his expression in this picture...yuck!



Here are some of the foods that Brad had prepared.  This is baby food peas, mixed with raisins, I believe.  UGH!

 



 

 

 

And this is cottage cheese mixed in sweet potato baby food....or something like that.  I don't really remember, and honestly, I didn't play the game.  ICK!

 



 

Even Jacob took a crack at it.  Way to go, buddy!

 



 

 

 

In the end, whoever was still in the game, got a bowl full of whipped cream, and they had to find the piece of bubble gum somewhere in the bowl....no hands allowed! 

 



 

 

Here is a picture of a few of the combinations that Brad used....mustard, raisins, cottage cheese, sour warheads, plantains (not pictured) and bottled cactus (not pictured), and of course whipped cream and bubble gum.  And incidentally, my dad loved the cactus stuff, so he got to take it home.  It was so disgusting...slimy and stretchy...oh my gosh, I might throw up just remembering it.  Let's move on...

 



 

 

Way to go Brad!  Awesome party!  And as in years past, we all watched "It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."  Fun times!

 



 

 

My mom made these graham cracker ghost treats, with chocolate chip eyes.  No one can say we're not creative!  :)

 



 

 

I made pumpkin cupcakes...I know, admit it, you want one!

 



 

 

And my mom also made these deviled egg things with spider olives on top.  Creepy!

 



 

 

All in all, the party was a success!  This is a fun party and I look forward to it every year.  Now we're ready for Halloween!  :)
