Fright Fest
On the 28th of October, Montesano Troop 4015 (including us) arrived at 5:00 pm to participate in the Wild Waves Annual Fright Fest. Joe, Dad and I were the first to arrive so we waited for them in the pouring rain. After waiting for a small period of time, Jae and Cathy arrived ready for whatever the night would bring. Then, we were all waiting for Steve and Erik but we did not have the inclination to stand in the rain for them so it was decided that we would enter into Wild Waves.
The crowd was large, and it would have been larger if it had not been pouring down rain. We made our way through the gates into PURE HORROR!!!! (not really, the haunted houses opened at 7:00) When we entered, Joe and Jae almost immediately got on the twisty-turny roller-coaster. I couldn't even look at it (I don't like roller-coasters). After a while Erik and Steve finally showed up and the night was filled with roller-coasters and amusement rides, until the haunted houses opened up.
Dad, Erik, Joe and I made our way to the first haunted house and waited what had to be an eternity in the pouring rain with a bunch of giggling high school girls behind us the entire way. We finally made it to the haunted house and screams of high schoolers was promising. Upon entering the evil clown house, I was disappointed. It wasn't scary at all and it relied more on jump-scares than anything else.
Dad and I were beat after that and made our way back to the car to dry off while Joe and Erik would do the second haunted house. Then we finally left. All in all it was a pretty entertaining night and would have been even greater if it hadn't been raining so hard.
