Halloween

A popular trick or treating vehicle
We took the girls trick or treating with a friend of Scarlett's from school. Her neighborhood goes over the top with decorations and sweets and people generally. Trickytreaters appear to be bussed in from other areas because the pickings are so good... There was one house deemed horrible by Scarlett as they had a coffin in their front garden from which one of the teenagers who lived there jumped out from time to time.

What with skeletons rattling from the trees, sheets waving about and fog machine induced fog, that street was pretty surreal. I walked about in a trance myself, popping candy corn to keep my energy level up.


Scarlett and Sophie could not get enough of the excitement.


Halloween morning, blue sky and a strange (to us) 75 degree day.

Much later, we went for a Halloween dinner and bop about in the local night club. We were completely under dressed as everyone had gone to town with their Halloween outfits.
