Halloween came together last minute this year, much like it did last year come to think of it.  The week before we had no costumes and no plan b.  Within days of the big event on base we gathered all we needed.  Those gleeful little faces were worth every bit of the effort.  Oh they had a grand time. 

Trick or Treat is a really big deal on an overseas military base.  As is Fourth of July.  Folks go ALL out.  As in, there were lines in front of many houses.  The gate was backed up for a quarter mile.

There is a true Mayberry spirit here.  The children are applauded for their costumes and their thank-you's.  

That is my Superhero below….

We are asked to refrain from taking identifiable pictures of the base so that's all here.  But I am making one exception for the woman twirling flaming batons in her backyard.  Kid you not. I did say folks go all out. Don't try this at home folks. : ) 

Hope you have thoroughly enjoyed your weekend as well!
