Halloween is a big deal in El Paso. A much bigger deal than in KY; not that we didn’t enjoy the events & fun of the season at home; but it takes on a life of it’s own here in the border country. For example, at home, Halloween is often cold and rainy but this year the temp was about 80 degrees. Great weather for trick or treating! Another different tradition is that the kids get out of school a 1/2 day for Halloween – that’s a little weird to me – but Emily loved it. Anyway – with another new experience under our belts, we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the spooky-holiday, watching the trick or treaters, and having fun passing out candy!
Here’s Emily and Jeff getting ready for the Trick-or-Treaters!
This picture is not really a “Halloween” picture, but we snapped Emily practicing with her new Pointe shoes!
