BOO! Halloween in La Bocana

For better or for worse, I have started the Halloween tradition in our town....last year was the first time some brave souls came to the door and now that all the middle schoolers have me as their Profe, Halloween is ON!

This is the house:

































and I was in a panic thinking I would not have candy so I asked everyone who was coming from the States to bring me some! Think there is enough lolol ? Between middle and high school there are almost 200 students - yours truly wanted to be prepared!

I must thank BajaDan and wife Jenn and cutie Bella for his fantastic donation of all thngs wonderful - bracelets and wands and swords that light up - hats and toys in general....these kids are going to be amazed! There is even a Halloween Bingo game that is so perfect. We will start the vocabulary for it tomorrow!











STAY TUNED FOR PICS OF THE KIDS ON FRIDAY WHEN THEY COME TO THE DOOR.

I HAVE SPREAD THE FUN AND ALL THE GRINGOES HAVE GOODIES TO GIVE. SOME GUYS FROM PRE BAJA MIL STOPPED BY WITH DECALS .... LOCAL NEIGHBOR RICKY WILL BE HANDING THOSE OUT. HE IS GOING TO BE ONE POPULAR GUY!


What is Halloween like in your town?

Lookin' good, girl!

I'm sure Les is DELIGHTED!

lol Feathers! He rolls his eyes and lets me do my thaing ...

Here are some pics of the 7th 8th 9th graders today:


THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PICTURE -ALL OF THEM DID ONE:









EVERYONE GOT A PIECE OF CANDY ( BTW THERE IS NO SHORTAGE BUT I LOVE GIVING THEM SOMETHING DIFFERENT ) JUST IN CASE THEIR PARENTS DON'T LET THEM TRICK OR TREAT TOMORROW:


















AND THEN YOU HAVE THE CLASS CLOWNS:



















SO WE ARE ALL ARMED FOR TOMORROW !!! I HOPE I CAN GET SOME GOOD PICS - MY IPAD DOES NOT DO SO WELL WITH NIGHT PHOTOS.

I'm glad you reminded them to wear costumes.

Halloween is a great addition to many a Baja kid's enjoyment. One of the more accepted imports. Celebrating Halloween in Mexico has grown tremendously in the last 25 years. Older generations still acknowledge Día de los Muertos, but youngsters follow Halloween more.

To join the parade of Halloween revelers, here's some in Coyote Bay ... the candy buckets get filled up pretty fast. Happy times for all of us.



Día de los Muertos is also fun, but in a more solemn and traditional way. In Mulege for instance, Xavier outdoes himself in decorating Las Casitas with skeletons with theme costumes.

Pompano, I just love the pic! Here is a pic of the very first two kiddies....the little one was scared out of her wits .....but sure came close for candy!

It has been a wonderful evening! The costumes were great and the kids only had 6 houses to visit but they were REALLY HAPPY! Here are some of the faces and next year they must come before 8 pm - I forgot to tell them to come early


























I GOTTA THANK DAN AND JEN AND BELLA FOR THESE WONDERFUL BRACELETS AND WANDS AND NECKLACES. THEY WERE A HUGE HIT!














THANKS TO GARY AND MARK FOR BRINGING CANDY !!! LES WAS SO WORRIED WE WOULD NOT HAVE ENOUGH BUT WE DID.

AND THE REST:














AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!

wow how did that girl in the first photo walk in those shoes???? scary all right!
Thanks to Blanca's request for candy, some guests brought us a bag too...I KNEW I would have enough as we get very few, if any...trick or treaters... but I was ready!

So I have my Halloween get up on and am waiting waiting waiting but nothing. Later Juan says the 2 men renting a room here at the Inn had some girls in their room!!! I thought boy they must have got lucky at Loncheria Mari...turns out they were trick or treaters...jajajaja
