Happy Halloween!

The PTA and the American Community hosted a Halloween event in our little city this evening. Anyone who wanted to participate was welcome and were asked to donate candy. Some families opened their doors and some families opened their trunks. The families had a map of the neighborhood and knew were to trunk or treat. It was so much fun for kids and adults alike. 

Happy Halloween!!

We decorated our minivan trunk area and sat in the back, handing out candy while scary music played loudly. Most kids said Happy Halloween, some said Trick or Treat, and some just stared and were scared. I think most had fun and we ran out of candy, so it must have been a success. I know my kids were really happy.

I just love Halloween and seeing everyone out socializing and playing together. I am glad that we got to experience Halloween in Holland, as it it not a popular tradition here (yet.) And the reason we celebrated tonight, instead of the 31st, is because the American Women of Amsterdam are hosting another Halloween event tomorrow night in Amsterdam.

For all our friends back home, Happy Halloween!  Hope you and your little goblins enjoy the magic of it all and stay safe and warm.

Parked near a canal, beginning to decorate our trunk.

Trick or Treaters. Luckily it didn’t rain while they were walking around the ‘hood, but it did get quite cold tonight!
