We celebrated Halloween on Saturday with a trunk or treat. The cub scouts had a teepee for the ‘trunk’. Jackson shared some plastic spider ‘rings’ with his fellow scouts, he enjoyed a snow cone, and lots of cookies and cupcakes – along with a chicken nugget and a French fry. It was so so so hot. But the veteran trunk or treaters said they were not complaining, as it typically rains! We had so much fun!
Then on Monday we celebrated in our neighborhood with door-to-door trick or treating, American-style. With lots of American candy! After the trick or treating was complete, the kids ran around, and the grown-ups gathered at a neighbor’s place to wrap up the evening with chips and salsa and margaritas. We are already looking forward to next year’s celebrations!
At home, our air freight arrived so we had a few decorations to put out. I taped paper bats to the front window and mixed our fake pumpkins in with the Jack-o-lanterns that we carved.
