Queremos Halloween


Most kids sang, Queremos Halloween (We want Halloween) for their sweets but a few said Truco o Trato (trick or treat).


Que scary!
The girls did some reconnaissance work in the neighborhood and brought back the following photos. 


Notice the Marigolds, they are the traditional flowers for the Day of the Dead.


This family is ready for Christmas.


Some families build altars like this one to remember their dead. Food, flowers, and memorabilia of the departed adorn the shrines.



OK, so the Barbie graveyard is a little over the top.


A local resident made cotton candy. Don't let the smiles fool you, the girls said it was disgusting.


We must have seen a couple of hundred kids tonight.


Part of the stash the girls brought home. Notice the lack of chocolate!


Some seriously festive mom gave this prized treat out.
