Halloween in London

Halloween, as we celebrate it in America, is relatively new to England. And because it has fallen in the fall break for ACS, there are no activities through the school like there were in Duesseldorf. Trick-or-treating has only just caught on, and we only found about one out of every four households participating in this part of the holiday. But then we headed to my health club for a Halloween Disco for the kids. It was really well done. They had a DJ who played music and then led games for the kids. The nice thing was that the limited trick-or-treating and the party netted much less candy than an American Halloween. Maddie's teeth may thank us later.

We're all going to try to hang out and relax this weekend. Mom and Dad are about touristed out and leave on Monday morning. It has been really fun to have them here.
