Wow! Halloween in Del Mar is one big PARTY! It started off bright and early at school with an 8:00am Halloween assembly, performance and parade. Every single child was in costume, every single teacher and administrator were in costume and the majority of the parents. It was awesome. The children were never allowed to do this in South Carolina and I found out how important it is for the kids to have this experience...so much fun! Matt was able to make it home to leave around 6:00pm to head over to a friend's house for trick or treating in their neighborhood. It was a big neighborhood extravaganza! Parties at many of the houses...all of the houses decorated better than I have ever seen with smoke machines, music, the whole nine yards. We met up with our new friends then met up with even more until there were several kids from the boys' classes and their families all trick or treating together. All of the kids had a blast and we have a ton of candy and tired kiddos on this day after Halloween. It was SO worth it and I can only hope we find friends and a neighborhood like this in Wichita.
