Pumpkin Carving Party

Our friends, Candice and Thai, invited us over to their apartment for a pumpkin carving party last night. It was a lot of fun, and we met some other first year optometry students too! There was a lot of snack food like chips and salsa, vegetable pizza, "mummy hot dogs" (wrapped in crescent rolls), and a cheese and sausage tray. Between snacking, we played Guitar Hero and carved pumpkins. My pumpkin was the Scooby Doo pumpkin in the top middle of the picture. Nick's pumpkin was Frankenstein in the middle of the photograph. Thai wanted to carve a pumpkin that looked like his dog, Kip, but it didn't turn out exactly like he expected...it led to some good laughs though! After the pumpkin carving was over, we drove to nearby Smithville, Indiana to visit a haunted train. You didn't actually ride the train, it was very old, rusty and stationary, but instead you walked through the cars of the train which had been transformed like a haunted house. It wasn't too scary, but I definitely jumped a few times!
