Halloween is not exactly celebrated here in the Czech Republic - unfortunately. It would have been great to have kids come to our door trick or treating, granted it could have been a little hard as we live on the top floor of a five story building and our whole area is wall to wall apartments. I’m not sure how that would work with kids trying to get candy...not too well probably. Actually there is an area in Prague called Little America where there are huge houses with big yards, kind of what you would see in the suburbs, so all the International kids that celebrate Halloween go there for some trick or treating. I guess it starts at 6 and usually ends around 7 as it’s a mad dash to all the houses. Talking to one of the moms on Friday night, she told me that a lot of the houses ran out of candy, so looks like they were busy!
Luckily for us our friends, the Stewarts, had a Halloween party at their apartment so we were able to dress up for it. We had a great time figuring out costumes and hanging out at the party. Chelsa went as a girl from the eights, and Arielle a Roughrider, sporting her jersey of course. And then Jeni and I decided to go as a tomato and a rohlik. Why you ask? Well I’m not sure if you remember my blog from way back in August when we were at training camp and as one of our snacks we were giving a tomato and a rohlik (rohlik’s are little hot dog like buns that are a staple to any Czech person’s diet). So Jeni was the tomato and I bought about 15 rohlik’s and taped them to me. Pretty funny!

You are truly a crack-up! Thanks for the pictures and the story. We had a quiet Halloween...I don't know why no one comes to our house. Maybe we are too spooky! So we go into town and celebrate...so much candy, so little time...thanks again. Take care! Cindy
