Halloween is a bigger deal in the States than I remember it being when I was a kid. In a good way, mostly, though some of the costumes and front yards this year were a bit excessive. I had to laugh when Gene said, "How did a holiday that started out as a bunch of kids dressed up as superheroes become so demonic?" Good question, kid!
Nonetheless, we enjoyed our first American Halloween.

| Gene as a ghost, Brave as a skeleton, Zion as a dinosaur, and Jubilee as Elsa. Cousin Eliana is a unicorn. |
 |
| We found one of PawPaw's flight suits and Daniel let me gel his hair to dress as Top Gun. |
 |
| Our dear unicorn and pickle accompanied us. (Allison and Wes) |
 |
| The host and hostess, Philip and Kerry. |
 |
| MoMo came to the party all the way from Who-ville. |
 |
| Who knew Maverick had a blue-haired sister? |
 |
| We tried to think of ways to make her hair white, but a black-haired Elsa is pretty cute, no? |
 |
| Of COURSE we carved pumpkins. Look at that concentration. |
 |
| And look what they did! |
 |
| A six-year-old carved this! Way to go, Jubilee. |
Then of course there was trick-or-treating, which in our case was "tractor treating," thanks to Uncle Philip and the blue tractor.
 |
| Posing by the blue tractor. |

| Out of costume. |
It was a ghoulish,
foolish time.
Happy Halloween, America.
