Oh yeah --- and, it is a ton of fun. Who doesn't like Halloween? Sugar rushes, pranks, goofy costumes with great scares, and great pumpkin carving contests.
Too bad most of Holland hasn't recognized the value that this holiday brings to their country. Fortunately for us, the American Woman's Club of The Hague always puts on a Halloween party for Americans abroad. This year was particularly fun because of the mummy games that we played at the party and the fact we have gotten to be so much better friends with the families at the club.
There is one neighborhood in Holland that jumped on the Halloween bandwagon in first class style. I don't know why, but this area in Kijkduin goes all out for Halloween. So, we met a few of Amanda's friends and went trick-or-treating. It was really really cold, so Jacob's kilt didn't do much for him.
Nevertheless, like the trooper he always is, he went out and had a great time. But, then again, when driven by food, Jacob will do just about anything. The good thing for him in Holland is the candy isn't wrapped or "razor-blade" tested. So, he could hit the house and eat immediately --- he loved it.
All the kids had a great time and most slipped into their PJs before leaving for home. Jacob and Liam enjoyed one bedtime story by Ben.
