Trinity’s worship service video from Nov. 8th is included at the bottom of this post!
Two Saturdays in October we enjoyed Halloween festivities at the RV park where we live, Lakeside RV Resort. Instead of writing about each weekend separately, they are combined into one post!
Kendal and I participated in Trick or Treat which was in the Pavilion this year. My granddaughter Madisyn came to visit that day ánd helped me put together our Old MacDonald’s Farm decorations. We had a wonderful time visiting and I really couldn’t have done the decorating without her help!
This was intended to be displayed as an Old MacDonald’s Farm in a trunk, but we set up tables to give out the candy, so we did the best we could! The kids loved the cow and pig balloons! Every time Madisyn and I get together we promise we’re going to take a picture of the two of us and again we didn’t. :(
Our neighbor Rene’ added these black cats to the yards of sites around us. The first two pictures are of the cat in our yard. It was fun to see people drive by and slow down because it looked like a real cat waiting to cross the street!
There was a Best Decorated Site Contest. One of the winners of the Best Site Decoration Contest was: Shay and Danny Wyatt
We passed by their site every day while riding our golf cart around the park and it was just so well done! These photos don’t do their decorations justice. The park has a swan and a duck that live in the lake, so Shay and Danny’s addition of the skeleton swan and skeleton duck was perfect!
The Pavilion is always decorated for each event by Lakeside staff, lead by Master of Creepy Creations Toni Nunn! It was spooky, creepy, gory, you name it! I am more of a cute pumpkins and Fall leaves kind of Halloween girl. But I have to give it to this group for doing creepy and scary really well!
Here’s a video that shows the graveyard scene way better than a picture could!
Here’s pictures of the creepy decorated walls in the Pavilion! In the first photo below the clown is one of the creepiest clowns up close you’d ever want to see!!! He’s become my favorite creepiest clown ever! BE SURE TO CLICK ON THE FIRST PHOTO TO ENLARGE ALL IN THE GROUP. YOU WON’T SEE EACH WHOLE PICTURE WITHOUT DOING THAT.
Some of the Park’s staff dressed up really cute. I got picures of two of them. First is Cassie dressed as Darlene the Dollar General Lady and she was spot on just like Darlene, but in my opinion, way better! She even dumps her ashes in her fanny pack!!! She makes me smile just being around her on a regular day, but that day was extra big smiles! Sue, the Manager, was just flat out creepy! Cute, but creepy! I’ve been playing around with ChatGPT and made two images of them with Halloween surroundings! I think they came out great!
The kids’ costumes were so cute! Even some of the park’s adult residents dressed up! A couple of pictures are of the kids making their way from table to table collecting goodies! One is of us residents giving out the candy! Like I did at church, I gave out painted candy rocks along with real candy!
Bingo is always a hit at the Park and this one was well attended. The lady in the first photo called the Bingo game this time. Her name is Sue, she use to live here and was back for a visit! In the same photo is Bonnie Whatley. She and her husband Roy (in the second photo) moved from out West a while back which I wrote about. They are back for a while (or longer I hope). They are in the next picture while we were playing Bingo. Roy won two of the games!
Outside the Pavilion was decorated quite grandly. One of the photos I took was this amazing arched entranceway to the outside part of the pavilion with air blowing through it. Can’t find that photo though! Food was available outside the first night and we all brought finger food the second night and ate together inside. I made artichoke balls! It was all delicious both nights!
That pretty much wraps up Halloween 2026. Three trick or treat events just about wore these oldfolks out!
