Hallow-When?
Well, our first Halloween here did not live up to the typical image of American Halloweens!Halloween itself was actually Monday, so that was the day for trick-or-treating. Or so we thought. I was really looking forward to getting some kids at the door, to see all their costumes. We were not sure how many we would get as we are living in an apartment building where you need a key to get in the main entry door from outside, but there are children living in the building, so I thought we would at least get them coming round. But not a single person knocked on the door all night. It was really disappointing. We had heard a statistic on the news earlier in the day that something like 94% of all American children would be going trick-or-treating that night, but I don’t know where they all were.
However, we did get to do one Halloween thing. We went to the local Six Flags amusement park on Friday night, which is about equivalent to Alton Towers, only a lot nearer, about 20 minutes drive. We went with friends Steve and Kristy, and had a great night. They really did a good job at the park, everywhere you looked there were decorations hung up, and tons of people dressed up as scary monsters, wandering around and chasing people. It was quite busy, so we didn’t get to go on all the rides, and I don’t like them much anyway, but am happy to sit and watch everything else going on whilst waiting for the others.
We also put up some decorations on our balcony, and stuck a thing on our front door, which all looked really good, so here are some photos of that and the Six Flags trip.
