Hallowen in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
If you have lived in Bay Ridge or even just drive through it, you will know that Halloween is pretty big here and widely celebrated.
Houses get very decked out and I was glad to be part of it.
And on Halloween, over 100 kids came to our door. We loved it! At one point, I asked Lee to answer the door and he complained that he wasn’t really a Halloween door answering guy. After he answered the door, he came back in and ranted about all the kids costumes and how cute they were. He wanted to answer the door every time it rang.
Something strange: A few times when we answered the door bell, there was a group of grown women in costume with no children. Apparently, this is very common as many friends in Bay Ridge told me that grown women came to their door every year on Halloween. They were in great costumes, had trick or treat bags and when we answered, they joyously sang out in harmony: Trick or Treat! Yes, a bit strange, but fun none the less.
Lee and I went out to the city and caught Saw VI for Halloween night. Great movie!
We had a great 1st Halloween in our new home.
Hugs,
