Picking out and trying on costumes
Keara and Joshua’s party started the Halloween festivities on Sunday
Nighttime zip lining is always a good idea
Then for the big day…trick or treating Tanzania style. We went to a friend’s house (Carolynn’s) where she and another American organized their “neighborhood” for trick or treating. This involved sending out an instruction sheet on how to do it because the rest of the houses that agreed to participate were not American. It was so much fun even though the Tanzanians that we passed looked at us like we were crazy and laughed at us (in a fun way). We covered 7 houses in an hour and 40 minutes (there were 3 more houses, but they were even further away, so we skipped them). This is with the help of a mkokoteni (I love this!). I was exhausted and so were the kids, but it was great. I hope this becomes a tradition.

How many kids can you fit in a mkokoteni?
Anders and Tierney (we’d long ago lost Ashlyn to her friends’ group)
Yep. That’s a scorpion in our path – yikes!
Burning cauldron. Nice job on Halloween from a Dutch family.

The stash. Not bad for 7 houses.
