TRICK OR TREAT, Colorado!
Sometimes your holiday plans just don't work out the way you think they will, and we here at Next love to embrace *real life.* Not your ~Instagram~ life.
And so today, Halloween, we celebrate your pumpkin fails.
If you can laugh at yourself, send your fail our way: next@9news.com.
