Halloween Revisited...

Last weekend our neighborhood community celebrated Halloween. It was a fantastic experience because it felt like what we would expect at home, with a little Bulgarian language thrown in! We got to go house to house and collect candy. The kids loved it and we enjoyed being out on a gorgeous, but chilly fall night with lots of our neighbors. We even received treats from the president, who happens to live around the corner from us. It was such a surprise to see his light on and we appreciated the easy way in which he greeted and interacted with the kids. I suppose he is a normal guy after all! After our bags were full, we returned how to pass out candy to the many children who came through. Jim joked with the older kids by trying to hand them dry pasta, which made them laugh after they realized he was only messing around.

"Happy Halloween!" 

"Look at all my candy!"
