On Halloween we had a thing with the community. We had pizza, a parade, and a Halloween party at someone's house.
The week before Halloween though, we went to Ganyard Hill Farm, somewhere in North Carolina. I enjoyed that. I love Halloween!
Ethan Holden Benner, brilliant little genius! He enjoyed every moment. Gavin David Benner, well, autism and spontinuity doesn't exactly go together...
There was so much to do:
And of course we went pumpkin picking... And I went pumpkin picking... Wink wink!
And I saw pumpkin flowers for the first time in my life. So beautiful!
And the cutest, but still a bit creepy, scarecrows in the world! Ethan was scared to the bone of these three.
And then we went home, and what do you know... The parents carved the pumpkin without me. So much for getting the experience of American culture and living as a family with someone... I really still don't like Alisha.
Gavin and Ethan in their Halloween costumes:
So, Halloween night arrived and I went to Chapel Hill with my Au Pair friends... I was a Jedi! And I found a ferret!
The ferret belonged to her, they match perfectly!
So, we went to a restaurant where some of the girls were regulars... This is the Three Musketeers:
And Mo, short for Mohammed... He is from Alexandria.
A group the coolest Au Pair friends a girl can wish for when you're a million miles from home. They really are a pleasant distraction.
The name of the game was, be weird. We decided on creating a game, you have to take at least one photo with a random stranger... And here's mine:
Another random picture, really, picture... More like painting...
Well, Halloween in Chapel Hill works like this... They block off the streets and you spend the whole night walking up and down looking at other people's costumes, because your friends are under 21 and you can't go drinking. At least some of the costumes were really creative:
And the winner of the best dressed Franklin Street Halloween Costume is:
TETRIS!
Was quite a fun night...
