Halloween

There is something about the last 1/4 of every year that seems to go by in a flash.  For that reason, I bring you a blog post about Halloween right before Christmas.

 

Halloween isn't really celebrated here.  Germany seems to be a little more Americanized than Switzerland so we decided to get into the spirit of Halloween at Europa Park this year.

We surprised the kids with the trip. We gave Jacob an early birthday present and told him to open the card.  After he read his card{and let out some squeals of excitement}we were in the car within 1/2 hour on our way to Germany.     The kids were beyond excited, their faces say it all in this picture. {no really, they were excited}

They did an amazing job decorating the entire park.  Josie was heard repeatedly saying  "scary, scary" 

 

 

You couldn't blame Josie though, the costumes were kind of creepy. The guy in the green pants kept walking by us and giving us weird faces with his freaky black eyes.

Josie spotted this lady {not sure who or what she was} but she kept yelling"Princess, Princess" and ran right up and held her hand.

She's a big girl now......which means she doesn't want a stroller........which also means...... daddy becomes the stroller.......

After we returned from Europa Park we celebrated the next night with a few friends.

We've enjoyed years of little goblin boys and are now loving have a little princess in the mix. {Not to mention, Jacob's costumes are becoming increasingly creepier each year.}  We felt this year we got a great feel for Halloween.

They have a cute little ride only for little kids. Parents can follow behind, if you feel your kid will jump out.....
