Halloween Night

Halloween Night the kids were jumping out of their skin. We had Halloween Pizza for dinner. Kyleigh arranged to leave the same time as our neighbor boy Riley, and Mike and Holly and the girls came with us also. Riley had some friends with him, too, so we had quite the crew. We have never gone trick or treating in our own neighborhood. When we moved here we were told that the neighborhood Mike and Holly lived in was the place to go, so we went there for a few years. We went with the Giles in their neighborhood last year, and this year we finally decided to stay put. And guess what, our neighborhood was every bit as good or better than the others we have been to. Trick or treating is a little different here than on the mainland, mostly because it is warm. Because of that people set up in their driveways or on their porches. They decorate and put things up for the kids to walk through. You don't have to wear gloves and pants and coats that mess up your costumes, and you can cover a lot more ground before your kids start crying because it is cold. You also have to be careful with your candy. Anything that is hard like a sucker or soft like a starburst has to be put in an airtight container or in the fridge so it doesn't turn mush. I have to say that I prefer Halloween in Hawaii. You can't beat the temperature.
