October 29,2009 - Character Parade

It was our first Hallowe'en in Abu Dhabi. The school had a character parade. Samantha's class decorated their t-shirts and Patrick's class made costumes from fairy tales. Patrick took his from "Jack and the Beanstalk". Patrick was the beanstalk. It actually turned out really well.

We weren't sure if they did Hallowe'en here in Abu Dhabi. I found out the next day that they do in certain places. Our apartment buildings are two blocks (Block A and Block B), and in Block B they had put up a sign up sheet for the trick and treating. That is not our Block, so next year we now know to check the other block as well for a sign up sheet, and put one up in our building. Oh well, the kids were pretty zonked anyways from the week end. There is always next year. :)
