Halloween

Having fun at Perspective school

This is always one of those holidays we could do without, but the kids love to dress up and get candy (what kid wouldn’t). As you know we try and make life seem as normal as possible for the kids while we are here, so we figured there were enough American families in Slavutich that we could organize a small trick or treating route. We introduced the Trick or Treating holiday to a few new people: one American couple whose wife hasn’t lived in the States and experienced the uniqueness of having kids come knock at your door and ask for candy, and one local who was eager to get candy for our cute kids! We ended up sharing our weird holiday event with some kids from the Perspective School who quickly understood the benefits of this strange cultural experience. All and all we had about 20 kids happy to be running around the town knocking on doors screaming “trick or treat”. We all had a good time and for eight houses the kids had candy for a month…….

The young American kids having a blast trick-or-treating!
