Celebrating Halloween

Costa Rica did it BIG this year and I am so so proud.  When it came to Halloween events for kids this year, there was an over abundance to choose from.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to have so many options this year.

There were so many events to choose from I had a hard time picking which event to take the kids to, which was a first.  Usually we have one event and that is good enough for us, as in years past there were few or no Halloween events for kids.  But this year, the activities ranged from Halloween contests to trick or treating at a few different malls as well as Halloween themed parties and crafty events.  And just about every single event was FREE!  Also, for the first year ever, there was a Halloween trick or treat event ON Halloween.  My kids would finally get to celebrate Halloween on the actual day for the very first time ever in Costa Rica.  That was exciting!

The best event this year, as far as trick or treating, was at San Pedro Mall where my kids made out like bandits with a TON of candy.  They got so much loot.  More candy than they could possibly eat in a year. As far as costumes, we kept them simple as always, with a lot of DIY elements.  My daughter's costume was by far the most popular and she did it all by herself. But my boys got their fair share of attention as well.  It was just the best Halloween!
