Nightmare on 13th


So Friday night Lacey and I took our 5 senior girls down to Salt Lake for their "senior trip." We went out to eat, then headed over to Nightmare on 13th. It was so much fun. I love the senior girls we have. They are so much fun, so whatever we did was going to be fun. And though they really wanted to go to Disneyland...our budget just wouldn't have covered it. But it was loads of fun. I don't do scary very well, so I was a little nervous about it. Last year Nightmare on 13th was rated one of the scariest haunted attractions in America by the Travel Channel. They even did a little video about them, I guess. I have also never been to a haunted house, so I was pretty excited about that. The entire thing took about an hour, and we didn't even have to wait on line. If you plan on going, buy your tickets online and you can get a VIP Pass (no waiting in line) and an additional few rooms for way cheap(ER). I think it was like $20-$25, but compare to $35 it's a good deal! ;)

Anyway, so I get scared really easy, so I made sure I wasn't first. There were two girls in front, I was with three girls in the middle, then Heidi and Lacey brought up the back. lol. I did NOT want to go first, and I'm glad I didn't! I made sure I was always close to someone. It wasn't really too bad. The times I got freaked out the most was when the stupid people would get in my face. It freaks me out SO bad!! I'm sure they are told to do that, but I wanted to push them away. Seriously. Like I had some dude get in my face, so I covered it and turned around and he was STILL there when I uncovered my face. NOT cool! Lol. I'm sure they find it totally hilarious though! It also didn't help that Lacey was behind me POINTING AT ME and mouthing "Scare her!" What a brat! lol...I had one chick totally breathe on me too when she was up in my face. Totally gross! Kinda made me mad so I just pushed pass her. I did jump quite a bit, but none of it really freaked me out. There was a room with mirrors that I closed my eyes through the ENTIRE thing!! lol. I don't do mirrors, and I was afraid of what I'd see if I looked! There was one really cool room where there was a tunnel spinning and a walk way through the tunnel. I SWEAR the walk way was tilted because I totally felt like I was tipping over. But they say it wasn't...so whatever..lol, It was totally trippy, and i was dizzy forever after, but I think that was my favorite part.

We added the extra rooms to our pass, and honestly...that was THE WORST part of the ENTIRE house!!! When you first walk in it's completely dark, and the walls are really close together...I was towards the back with Heidi and Lacey, and i was walking first. The ground was funky too...like really padded. But I was walking, freaking out because I couldn't see and I'm totally claustrophobic, and I hit a dead end. I started panicking because I couldn't see, and Lacey and Heidi were really close to me and I honestly thought I was stuck! It was so bad...but not NEARLY as bad as the end. I made it through that first part okay, but was still a little panicky. Not to mention it was WAY hot in there. But when I we got towards the end there were like two sheet type things with air blowing into them, and you had to push your way through. It wasn't just a little air pushing the sheets...it was blowing way hard, and the walkway was REALLY narrow! I got like a step into it and started freaking out. To make it worse the girls in front of me were going REALLY slow...I honestly thought I was going to pass out. Heidi was behind me and she was the same. When we got stopped in the middle of whatever you want to call it, it was horrible. I was screaming at the people to keep going. It was horrible. and to make it worse....Once I got out of it...there was ANOTHER ONE!!! It was honestly like my worst nightmare! When we got out Heidi and I were both shaking and on the verge of tears. I thought i was going to have a panic attack in the middle of it...I'm sure that would have been fun...lol. I was shaking so bad forever after we were done. But it was a lot of fun! Lol...We were going to go to another one in Ogden, but it was too expensive, so we just headed to Logan, went to coldstone and got ice cream (mint mint chocolate chocolate chip...YUMMMMY!) then headed home. It really was a lot of fun, and they are a fun group of girls that I'll miss like crazy!

But anyway...if you're considering going to Nightmare on 13th...I'd totally recommend it...Shari, if you want to come back and go to it with me...haha, I think that would be really fun (and funny!) But seriously people...go to it!!!

No no no no thanks you! The last time I went to something like that I was in Rexburg(Haunted forest)...I was chased around a pyramid of hay bales by some creeps in scary masks, was SO scared I ended up punching a guy in the face and then while trying to run away i accidently tripped a girl in our FHE group and she fell over,dislocated her knee, had to b driven out on a 4-wheeler and I was then teased mercilessly every october after....I have next to no tolerance for things jumping out at me in the dark...ask Ben they used to scare me every chance they could growing up...until I started lashing out in fear. Ugh... I love fall, I DO NOT LOVE HALLOWEEN...
