Next weekend, Halloween is going to happen here! One of the first things our kids lamented when the pandemic hit was the thought that Halloween would not happen.
Not so! This Saturday from 3:00-5:30 PM will be the first community gathering we islanders have experienced since March, as trick-or-treating families will walk through Eastsound collecting sugar. Even the library will continue handing out books to kids. Our family is joyous!
Our younger son said, “Mom, I’m not even excited because of the candy. I mean, that will be great, but I’m just so excited about the whole thing!”
He has been actively creating his costume, as I’m sure others have been doing with exponential zeal this year. Orcas Islanders always give it their all.
Now for the red lights he plans to attach. (It’s all his doing from start to finish.)
I can’t wait to see all of you locals out there!
