This years Halloween did not end up as we had planned. We thought we would go on base since the Japanese don't typically celebrate this holiday. The day before Halloween we spoke to a neighbor who told us quite differently. She said that our neighborhood was a definite attraction this time of year. All of the Japanese came down here to celebrate. She said that we would be amazed at the number of people and that we were. It was a mob up and down our entire street. The locals love this holiday. So we set up shop on our driveway with some friends and their child. We had two huge bowls of candy and we were ready. The kids dressed in the neatest costumes. Nikolas was Spider man, Logan was Optimus Prime, Madilyn a Pink Tulip Fairy, and Knyte was a very popular Sorcerer's Apprentice. We had all of our fantastic pumpkins out on the driveway and lit. They were the hit of the evening for sure. We were not outside 30 min and our candy was GONE. We gave 1 piece to each child and it was still all gone. Crazy!!! We had fun to say the least. Madilyn had not grasped the concept yet that Halloween is not everyday. She loves to say "Twick o' Tweet" to everyone in hopes of getting more candy. It was better than we imagined and we are so glad we stayed at our house to experience it.
