Halloween+Gravestones

Halloween is my family's favorite holiday. We always try to make it special, and better than the time before it. One tradition we have is to make gravestones for our front yard. Every year, my dad and I go buy foam to make the gravestones. After that, we get out the paint and power tools. First we draw the outline of the gravestone on the foam with a marker, and use power tools to cut them out. Next, we use another tool to carve words into them. Then we are ready to paint. One year we even spray painted them to add some extra color. It looked really cool. After the paint dries, we put the gravestones in our yard for everyone to enjoy. I sometimes even have friends come over to make gravestones for their house also. It is a lot of fun!
