Halloween in Fiji. I didn't even know they celebrated Halloween here til the morning of. A friend called and said there was a gathering for the kids at a local pool, then an adult event at a snazzy resort close by. So, we rallied! After school we scambled through what we had available. Jonah got a pair of shorts and shirt that we tattered for a pirate costume. Alina borrowed fairy wings, and I made ears and cuffs to be some kind of leopardy cat. Off we went. The kids event was Fijian style in every detail- the entrance was a long tunnel made from palm leaves, lined with carved, lit pumpkins. Tiki torches all over, and to our surprise a bouncy house. In the first 3 minutes ALL 20 kids got in the bouncy house, it toppled right onto the tiki torches, the house folded on the kids and there was a mad panic to get all the kids out safely. Unbelievable and yet not surprising! By minute 5 they all changed out of their costumes and went in the Tiki pool. There's a water slide, and beach area too, they played the night away. Not one piece of candy!
