Making The Most Of Halloween

As I've said before, Halloween is not as celebrated in Costa Rica as it is in the States, but every year it becomes more and more recognized.  And more places not only decorate for the occasion but host events to mark the day as well.

We were fortunate again to participate in the Fantasy Day Halloween event at Lincoln Plaza mall this year. Similar to the event last year, they had a costume contest, free activities for the kids like a moon-bounce, face painting and free cotton candy.  However, this year's event was even better.  We were able to walk freely around the mall and trick or treat at a bunch of participating stores and it was so much fun. The kids got a ton of candy and a taste of what it would be like to ToT back home.  It was also a bit nostalgic for me because it truly did remind me of when my oldest was younger and we would take him to the Prudential Center Pru Boo Halloween event in Boston. 

Best part was the kids had a blast and we were able to do something special for Halloween again this year.
