We had an easy and low-key Halloween. In the morning we walked through the steamy Okinawa heat to the 100 yen store for Halloween treat buckets. On the way home we got rained on...and then it stopped and steamed again. I'm still adjusting to the Okinawa weather. And I didn't bring any of our warm weather clothes, I shipped them a few weeks before we left the states and they still aren't here. That wasn't too smart...but I digress. Here are Matthew and Anna getting ready for trick-or-treating. Anna was a kitten.
And Matthew was a fireman. Apparently it is a popular combo. We saw another sister and brother dressed as kitten and fireman too. I guess the fireman can save the kitten from a tree or something. Matthew was really excited about his costume.
We also met Hello Kitty in the BX and Matthew was really excited to take a picture with her - further evidence of the fireman/cat connection? Matthew actually insisted that she was a bunny, so I don't know.
We went trick-or-treating inside at the BX, which worked out since it rained a little bit tonight. We only went to about 6 or 7 shops before the kids buckets were totally full and we decided to stop. Here's Anna trick-or-treating. She was so excited to see the other kids in their costumes and completely perplexed by the people who would put candy in her bucket. It was a lot to take in but I think she had fun. Everyone thought she was very cute.
Matthew was really excited about the trick-or-treating too and kept asking about it all day...and telling me we had to go trick-or-treating NOW because today was Christmas. We tried to correct him, but he wouldn't hear of it.
And here they are at the end of the trick-or-treating excursion. I think we were only at it for about 15 or 20 minutes, but that was plenty for them. It was a lot of fun and afterwards we headed back to the house for dinner and a quiet evening at home. Happy Halloween everyone!
