Culebra Wildly Free Range Friday - Zombies Walk, Pigs Talk and Happy November!

Halloween on Culebra, like any 'event' night on Culebra, usually comes with thoughts about a plan. We went out early, with a plan. The plan was basically, go home early. Plans are like diets, it's just better not to talk about either one sometimes, lest you want to be a liar.

Not that we got home terribly late, in the coin of the young. But by our own coin, bed would have been under butts rather than bar stools. Why did we not stick to the plan? Because it was fun! And fun is good! Good fun is even better. Trust me.

There are way too many photos here, but as we left Dinghy Dock and headed into town, there were too many great costumes to stop clicking. It was family, it was fun, it was Culebra at its most gruesome, gory, laughing best. Very local, very good! Well done, planners of fun and festivities!

First up, Natalie. Tom put it best - Pippi Longstocking meets Lady Gaga.

Chris went all out.

John was Ground. Of course he was. Each object made sounds when you touched John (and became Ground). My favorite was the spoon that said 'Warning! Warning!. Jo liked the carrot. Of course she did.

Lisa wore Ani's lovely mask

There's gotta be a witch!

Rachel was regal

Ms. Mwow Mwow

King Woody with candy for all

The host wasn't saying much of anything at all

These guys did an awesome get up as fishermen delivering real fish

And then the youngsters showed up.

and kept showing up. It was a flood of zombies and princesses

Parents got into it as much as the kids

The Padron Zombie family. Ok, this creeped me out a little bit.

A kiss from Daphne left me bloody cheeked.

Jim Carey has nothing on Daphne for silly faces

Batgirl, meet your undead niece and sister

Checking out Ground

Scary sweet

Walt, this looks really good on you!

I'm not sure what she started out being, but Jo became a blow up doll

Batgirl, meet Catgirl

Catgirl makes a Booty Call

Did we all say, oh wow! Yes we did

Shay and Kelli vamped up

And then we hit the streets. Just for a little while, we said. Uh huh.

Don't smile, Jenna. Really, don't smile!

Gretchen takes a special request

Just say ohhhhhhh! que linda!

Creepiest costume of the night.

Give me a pizza!

Wow!

Juan was out and about

So was Sam. Wait, that's not Sam!

Recyling

The cutest pumpkin in the patch

"I'm not photogenic," she said. I beg to differ

Oh Mama!

Some good looking pirates

And back to where we started. It was time to head home.

Today is also the Day of the Dead. Tomorrow too. You can read all about it here. A loving holiday, and I raise my sugar skull to Sean, in honor of his favorite holiday.

"These molded sugar coffins are actually toys to delight the returning spirits of children on November 1. Pull the string and a smiling calavera skeleton pops out of his coffin!"    from Mexican Sugar Skull

The food part? Candy of course.

Have a first things first Friday. Do something fiesta-ish.
