My son has been was waiting for the Halloween day. For him, Halloween means "trick or treat", a costume, a pumpkin basket and candies. His experienced this year was different from last year. Last year, he went trick or tricking together with his teachers, classmates and parents. At night time, him and big brother went around the neighborhood for trick or treat.
This year, we moved to a new place and he is on the waiting list for school. So mommy has to be with him trick or treating while the eldest brother was busy doing a zombie act at the Halloween Carnival Haunted house.
Halloween Carnival was a project of the city to provide a family-friendly, safe place to be for Halloween night. There were free candy, games and activities for kids. Admission is free.

I wonder when will my son experience this thing called "treat or treating...
ReplyDeleteHalloween is also an exciting event for kids and the kids-at-heart. Dressing up in your favorite costume and collecting candies make this event a sure hit.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when a local city is sponsoring a family friendly event such as this.
ReplyDeletehe looks like he had a blast. We don't celebrate halloweens so i can't really say much about the occasion hehehe
ReplyDeletereally cool! my daughter likes to go to halloween carnival every year.
ReplyDeleteMy son never tried to do any treat or trick thing...Also we did not celebrate Halloween...
ReplyDeleteMust have been quite a bonding moment between you and your child.
ReplyDeletei wish we had that here too. here, it's just free for all and do as you please kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope there are also Halloween celebration in our place.My daughter would love that kind of event,especially wearing princess costumes.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't celebrate this year's Halloween 'cause we were in my husband's camp. But it was still a happy day for my daughter. I hope we can do ToT next year!

awww! He is a cutie Sis :-) and looks like he had a wonderful time and a blast :-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, how awesome! We so definitely need a Halloween Carnival set up here for the kids too, paging the city.. LOL :D
ReplyDeleteI bet this year was more fun because Mom was with him. ;)
I think Halloween is much more upbeat these days with all the celebrations and costumes available for kids and adults.
ReplyDeleteMy son just had his first trick or treat this year at school and it was also my first time to see an actual trick or treat. So it was a blast for both of us :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems you live in a fine neighborhood. I've only seen trick or treating happen this year on my client's office as well as the malls. It was interesting in what costumes kids dress up. It seems children don't do door to door anymore here in ours. :(
ReplyDeleteThe local had a great idea to make an event that will make the family more tight by doing something together.
ReplyDeleteyour city government is very nice to put up something like that..
ReplyDeletelast Halloween, we had a party here in my house.. I prefer throwing my own rather than trick or treating in the mall or any Halloween event.. as for the neighborhood, we don't have a trick or treat event..
During Holloween, City or Local government not only in the Philippines but in your location as well, initiates such activity that will indeed give fun and thrill to kids and those oldies, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure, your son truly had a nice freaky experience.
I bet your little boy did enjoy his ToT activities; my son did ToT as well, we went to a nearby mall and he did had lots of fun. This is one good activity wherein they learn to socialize as well with other kids.
ReplyDeleteA fun day for your son celebrating Halloween and enjoying trick or treat, Sad to sy we don't celebrate Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYour city has a nice idea in order to make it safer for the kids to have their ToT they made it happened in a one place activity.
ReplyDeletewe don't celebrate Halloween in my area, although we do have costume contest in malls. This is a a fun and safe way to celebrate your Halloween tradition.
ReplyDeletei've been wanting to go trick or treating for the longest time. we didn't have that growing up. i want to be a kid again.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun! I went to a village Halloween party last October and bagged myself quite the sweet loot :)
ReplyDeletelooks like you have a lively crowd in your community. it is always good to find best groups to join party during Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI hope such carnival will emerge at our place too. This time, for Christmas carnival.
ReplyDeletethat is one cool place to be on Halloween, I hope they have these kinds of carnival locally, too! :)
ReplyDeleteWow... good to know he enjoyed it. Halloween carnivals are not that popular here though it would be a cool place to where you and your kid bonds.
ReplyDeletewow trick or treating with teachers and classmates sounds fun! my kids always look forward to Halloween. even though Halloween just pass by.. they look forward to it already. haha ur boy look so cute with his costume.
ReplyDeleteHalloween here in Penang, Malaysia seems just like a normal day... seems like nothing happened. But in your place, it's really fun! :-)
ReplyDeleteThough I haven't seen it in reality, I like to look at(in pictures)the big pumpkin carved into a creepy object. I just love the creativity of the people who are doing it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the yearly events that my son is excited to attend... before :( He's now 11 and he's not a little boy anymore, how time flies!
