October was a busy month with all sorts of Halloween activities. In the middle of the month we took the kids to a pumpkin patch, you can see those pictures
here.
Adobe, formally Omniture, goes crazy for Halloween. They go all out and completely transform the building for trick or treating. Departments get a massive budget to do different themes and compete for some amazing prizes. Here were some of the ones we enjoyed.
Top to Bottom:
We had to wait in line for a while to get into the building, but there was plenty to do while you wait. They had cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream and a live band. They also had snake/bug handlers, jugglers, and some other entertainers.
First up was alien hunting. They gave us nerf shooters to shoot the aliens as we went through (it was all black lights and neon paint).
Harry Potter theme complete with a few giant spiders.
Kai's favorite:Angry birds Seasons theme. Each season had a shooting station where people could launch angry bird stuffed animals. I think they must have raided every store, there were probably hundreds of these flying around.
Cars theme. There was also a toy story theme.
One section had a rope swing and this huge slide!
This year's grand prize winner: Alice in Wonderland. They decorated outside and brought in a bunch of sculpted trees, flamingos, and movie posters. I don't know where they found the one that covered an entire wall (the one with mushrooms and flowers). They even had a blow up bounce house for the kids.
This was the theme Jeremy worked on, and the end of the tour: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
We are all excited for next year! Adobe is constructing a new building that will be complete in October. So they will do one last Halloween at their current building and leave with a bang!
