Halloween 2011

Ava was a lion for Halloween and Sophia wore a Halloween outfit.  Ava loved her costume she roared to the trick-or-treaters and even said trick-or-treat a couple times.  It didn't take her long to understand she was getting candy and was pretty happy getting her treats.  The Scream costumes scared her but for the most part she did very well.  We trick-or-treated for about 30 minutes then headed home to hand out candy.  Trick-or-treating started at 6 and lasted till 8, however, we ran out of candy around 7:30.

Ava helped hand out the candy by the handful.  I think she had a better time doing that than trick-or-treating.  It was neat to see all the kids dressed up.  The base was open to the local children who attended the schools near the base and it was a little crazy but fun.  The Okinawan kids loved Ava and they all wanted to give her hi fives.  Looking forward to next year and I will have much more candy.  We had that huge basket filled to the top and even had some extra bags and we still ran out early!
