THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT!!

Wednesday nights usually aren't very fun a special, right? Well, tonight was an exception. At 9:15pm, we went to a place called the haunted mill. Here is a picture of it:
Every year, this old abandoned flour mill is turned into a huge haunted house. It is so awesome and it is soooooo long!!! When we got there, there was absolutely no line at all and we just walked right up to where you pay. It was only 5 bucks a person. TOTALLY WORTH IT! Last time I went before the mission, I waited for about an hour and a half to get in. That was a Saturday night though. The mill takes about 30-45 minutes to go all the way through and it is sooo scary! Seriously, probably the scariest thing ever. When you first go in, you start on the first level of the mill and within the first split second people are jumping out and scaring the number 2 out of you! You actually start out crawling and as soon as you get out of the tunnel, this guy in a potato sack mask thing (like in the new batman) jumps out and you are totally not expecting it. The cool thing about Idaho is that there really are no laws. They grab you, the whole time you are walking on uneven boards, it is just so awesome. Anyway, once you get through the first floor, you go outside through a field where guys are hiding. From there, you go into the other part of the mill which then takes you into the mine. It really takes you underground and it I guess was a mine at one point. It connects back to the main mill and then you go up to the second and third stories of this mill. The stairs are about 2 feet wide and super steep and at the top, people jump down from the cieling and just about give you a heart attack. There is never a time for 45 minutes where you are not in a panic. Honestly, it is by far the coolest thing ever!!!! We all had so much fun! On part of it, you go over this huge suspension bridge over the river (you know, the kind that are super wobbly) and even out there there scary people chasing you with shovels and what not. All the old equipment is still in there and is part of the haunted house. By the time you are done, you are actually quite dirty from crawling around in the tunnels, going through the mine and stuff like that. I am so going back!!

After that, we did the old quarter in a bandaid tied to fishing line trick to people. We put a quarter into one side of a bandaid, wrapped it in fishing line, and stuck it to our FHE sisters window and went about 200 feet away into this dark field and pulled on the fishing line to make the quarter tap on the window. It was driving them nuts! They came outside, look all over, went back in....they couldnt figure it out and they were freaking out. We secretly took it off and went over to the girls dorms and put it on a random bedroom window and sat in the car with the fishing line. This girl got sooo mad. It was good fun. Then I came home and here I am! Totally fun wednesday night.
