So....it's better late than never, but I wanted to tell you guys about the best weekend ever! The weekend of October 24th, my friends Christie Yopst, Sarah Quigley, Priyanka Deo, Michael Stephens, and myself went up to Sycamore, IL. to take part a some of the most random festivities ever: PUMPKIN FEST! I went to Pumpkin Fest last year, but this year was something to look forward to. Not only were we going up there to check out everything, but the main goal was to be reunited with our dear friend Tabatha Anderson.
Tabatha is a loser, and one of my closest friends and we liked to take a lot of emo pictures together. She went to UIS last year and transferred to NIU her junior year, it was really hard to let her go. Tabatha can fill you in on the details about the day that she left. Let's just say it was sad! It's hard to try to sum up the best weekend ever. We stayed at Christie's house and her mom and dad are B.A.M.F.'s. I'll just say that. Mama Yopster is such a mom, she even cut up my caramelapple! Michael was having problems.....he can't cut very well (he'd be a bad emo). They also have a dog named Boomer, he was so awesome. Yet, he didn't know what it meant when it came down for the gang to try to sleep!
After an hour of trying to get him upstairs....it finally worked! The next day was beautiful!
We saw a bunch of pumpkin's down there that were really creative, however, the best one by far was the "Incredible Pumpk." It was really creative! I thought it was the best one by far!
We met our friends Matt Derber and Howard Kang down there, then Howard and Tabatha thought it was a bright idea to enter a Pumpkin Pie eating contest. Then I got peer pressured to join in, possibly the dumbest idea that I got shoved into.....but I had sooo much fun. I also found out the technique to eating pie in a pie eating contest: "Shove everything into your mouth!" I almost lost all of my pie because my friend Priyanka was being a tool yelling "Pumpkin Fest" in her Indian Accent all weekend. She was making me laugh and everyone thought that she was crazy!
Yeah, I failed miserably! But it was soooo much fun. After the pie eating contest, it was a dumb idea for Vicky, Priyanka and I to go on a ride that was pretty cool, especially after I ate all that pie. But it was the most hilarious ride ever. Priyanka kept yelling "Pumpkin Fest" over and over again. Flipping hilarious!
Later on that night, we ate a crap load of food, watched "Baby Mama" hilarioso! Then we went to a haunted house, it scared the crap out of me! Not really, but it was really good! We even got a picture with the guy that scared everybody!
Oh yeah, the guy that's in the back pointing at him is Drew Creal, that guy is the "ish." We also played signs! Let's just say that Christie's little sister is not good at that game at all! She got screwed over sooooo much! But it was all in good fun!
The last Pumpkin Fest event was the Pumpkin Fest Parade, and it was sooooo nice! The floats were really nice, and majority of the floats had dogs, I don't know what it was with that town and but there were a lot of them! Here are a couple of videos that were taken of the Parade!
It was sad to leave Tabatha....and Boomer! But it was soooo much fun! I look forward to Pumpkin Fest next year!
