Halloween Fun!

I think I may have had "too" much fun this Halloween! Here I am, bobbing for apples!

Apple bobbing has an interesting history (this is from Wiki):

"The custom originated among the Celts as part of their celebrations of the Samhain season, celebrations that grew into modern-day Halloween. The original custom generally took place during large gatherings of people. Apples were associated with love or fertility goddesses; the first person to catch an apple would be the next one to marry, a tradition that is echoed in the modern "throwing of the bouquet" at weddings."

Cool stuff, eh?
