Halloween

The kids had fun getting ready for the festivities of the night. Caleb was thrilled to dress up as a Brazilian soccer player, wearing the authentic jersey that Pedro brought him from Brazil. Julianne had fun playing housewife, Marie wore her traditional Korean hanbok, and Elisa was our sweet little clown.





First stop was the church, where we enjoyed a Fall BBQ, followed by some games. Then the real fun began during "Trunk or Treat", where the kids went from one car to another in the parking lot collecting their stash of candy. It was a big hit!

Next, we went to the home of Pedro's host family, the Blowers'. They went all out putting on a huge party in their commercial greenhouse. There was a dance floor, a cake walk, "Fear Factor" treats, a shooting game, just to name a few of the things happening there. Julianne participated in a game in which the object was to rescue several gummy treats from a plate of doctored spaghetti noodles--without using your hands.

We finally headed home with a huge stash of candy, some sugared-up kids, and hearts full of love and thankfulness for another fun evening of family memories.
