U.S. Traditions
Nov 24 2009
I realize this story is a little dated, but please bear with me. For Halloween, we were in Phoenix to see my family and old friends (from the civilian side). The stay was fun and it was great to catch up with my brother, his family, and my dad for a few days.
Additionally though, our children got a taste of American culture – literally, since it was Halloween. Our friends have three children the same ages as ours; so Sam and Anna traipsed around the local neighborhood and Joe went to a Halloween party with our friend’s oldest boy. All three kids were pretty excited by the events – and the collection of treats (those that their dad did not confiscate).
Joe and Anna also went to school with our friend’s children for a day. They were only supposed to stay for a half a day, but when I arrived to pick them up the two wanted to stay at school. Now, how come we can’t get that attitude at their “road” school?
Phoenix might not be a place on our list of consideration; but, other than the heat, it was a nice RV stop. Plus, the kids had great fun and it was nice to have them see an American school. Tomorrow, Sam gets his turn. We’re in Cayucos, CA visiting my wife’s brother, and Sam will spend a day at school with his cousin.

How cute! So did you eat the candy you confiscated?
