halloween

halloween on the island is, well, challenged. decorations and tirck-or-treating are hard to come by, but we certainly made the best of it this year. we had a mini-halloween party on jost for the children over the weekend with trick-or0treating in the cabins, a spiderweb game and a rousing round of ghost in the graveyard. then on halloween, we founf a neighborhood (of six townhouses) that was doing t or t0ing...with about 75 children!!! then we walked up havers hill where a smaller invite-only group t or t-ed...we pretty muched crashed that group, but we were welcomed in the end!
